To build 'smarter hands' in butterfly, don't coach the forearm — remove the option to use the hand. Have swimmers pull with a closed fist: they literally cannot generate propulsion from the hand anymore, so they discover the forearm on their own. Cycling through postures (fist, pinch paddles, open hand, OK sign) and contrasting them side-to-side builds hands that can feel and adapt to different water interactions. Constraints teach what instructions can't.
