Meant more for comic relief than anything else. I added functionality to my
wrists but it still moves quite wackily.  The following anim has no
"intentional" wrist rotation but things are still a bit out of whack.

In fact I find this pretty impressive (and I used to be swimmer :). The 
movement starts out well and ends well (it really looks cool), but things 
aren't perfect between. :) For a more sporty effect, I'd let the elbows go 
further "down" (at least down from this view), and keep the hands closer to 
the body. Of course there is the obvious problem with the wrists as well.

Can't wait for the time when we race our AI swimmers on 200 m medley in 
particle system swimming pools with PoV-Ray N. :)

There is a problem with the rotation of the hands in some part of the
anmiation. It makes an imposible twist for a human.

Good luck,

Fernando.
