Ok, usually our masters team has few enough swimmers that we can split the lanes and not have to circle swim.. however, there are times when attendance is higher than normal and we do have to circle swim. (personally I think it's fun!)
anyway..
I am not sure what the proper etiquette for the turns are. Are you supposed to hit the wall on the right side of the lane and push off towards the opposite (return side), or while you're swimming into the wall do you scootch over to the left, flip and push off relatively straight?
I notice that I have some trouble with the angles coming into and out of the wall when circle swimming and so far have managed but would like to figure out the proper way to do this..
any insight?
thanks.

Great info.. thanks to all who answered!
I'll have to practice.. Something Ande said sparked a thought as to why it seems so akward to me. We usually swim counter clockwise, and I have a tendency to turn to the right, so while doing a flip turn and turning right but trying to move over to the left, it's a long weird sort of move for me.. I'll try turning the opposite direction.. (boy this isn't going to be pretty!) lol
Thanks again!
