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?
Just noticed Thorpe rolls my way, so maybe I won't try to change. I think for circle swimming, the other way is better because you can immediately see the lane rope and adjust to it.
A few times yesterday I almost killed the oncoming swimmers. I just don't do it enough. It sounds like the other way is preferable though.
My upper body is already rolled 60-90 deg when my feet push off. If I push off completely on my back, there is not enough momentum to roll where I want to be on breakout.
