Many many thanks for the 'pinch' suggestion. I tried that in the pool yesterday, during warmup and then again at the end of the session before my cool down. I found it helpful int eh warmup as I've been working hard on the front part of my stroke where I tend to glide/dolphin as the hand enters the water, and so the pinch was great to give me a quick feedback.
Only concern I had was that I initially started to reach a bit forward to get that early pull as opposed to driving down.
