Roll left or right in flipturn????

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?

  • different swimmers do it different ways I push off with my left side down which I think is better for counter clockwise circle swimming (cause your back is facing the oncoming swimmers) but there's many swimmers who roll to the other side and push off right arm down which means their belly is facing oncoming swimmers in the same lane it's really about what feels best, it's the same as being regular or goofy foot in surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding or if you're right or left handed ande I would do a poll but don't know how.
