I would do a poll but don't know how.
My pool does not circle swim. I have my own lane. When I learned to flip turn I roll to the right i.e. when I roll I will be looking left when I break out. When I occasionally circle swim, I find this to be aqward and have difficulty heading to the right side of the lane on pushoff.
My question is, do coaches prefer teaching one over the other?
I don't have a prefered side for flip turns. Whichever side is dependant on where I am in the stroke. For *** and fly, I turn left, and am akward turning right. I find a lot of coaches have trouble with that because most people turn the other way.
