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?

Ideally, side-by-side lane sharing is best.
Unfortunately we can have 20 swimmers shoehorned into 3 lanes on a Tuesday evening, sort of rules out swimming sides. As for suggesting a set swimming, "The other way round", I would welcome it (lane 2 swimmer, have to swim anticlockwise, prefer to tumble clockwise) but I suspect that the damage to lane 1 egos would be more than the club (or the coach) could bear!
