So the interesting thing you just said was you're using pennies to hold your fingers together. So are you spreading your hands out too much? Or do you? You know, have you? Have you tried to just separate them a little bit? Or do you just go a little too crazy on it?

Um, I think I just try to be as narrow as possible. And so that sort of helps remind me and also when I was in Tenerife and this blue, they have a glass window on the sun side. Yeah. And we got a slow mo video of my one hand going like this, and my other hand going like this.

So to separated them.

Yeah, yeah. And even sometimes, David is reminding me of my thoughts. So sometimes I'll be really tight with my fingers. My thumb will still be out.

Good or bad.

I think it's bad. Okay, too far out.

I've had I've had an Olympic champion tell me he swims with his thumb out to catch water in the flap of skin. Really? Yes. So rolling? Oh, so yeah. And he his hands are more like Pullman a basketball when he's fast. So um,

yeah. And I feel like if the balance because I think with the water tension, you can have them out

your feet? No, no, no, no, but you want to in this, but your, your fingers are so long and slender, finding that perfect balance, it's gonna be difficult. So probably keeping them in is probably a benefit. So play with it here. See, there's benefits to be a little chubby. So do do some with the fingers together and some with the finger slightly apart and just play and see what fields you want faster or slower.

When I was

totally together at the beginning, I felt very strong. And then it was such a big contrast when I went totally wide. The other extreme, if only my fingers were flopping. Yeah. And then I think it's sort of hard to find that balance. Because some strokes when I then went to the middle, it was good. And then sometimes I would feel a finger flop around. Yeah.

Yeah. So I think it really is kind of based on the individual. Some like Lee's hack always has this fingers. You know, typically they're a little bit open. But again, bigger, bigger hands, probably. So I think it's important to experiment and find the one that that obviously works best. There's never one answer for everybody.

Yeah. And it's also interesting here, because here you can really feel it. I don't think I would feel the difference right?
