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 roll to my right, first stroke out of the turn is with my right arm. I'm not sure how this habit evolved, maybe because this makes it easier to keep an eye on lane mates so they don't smack into me or vice versa.
