How in the world do you approach the wall on the right side of the lane, flip, and depart on the other side without running into someone?
Up to this point, I guess have led a fairly charmed Masters Swimming life. On all the teams I've swum with, it was rare to circle swim. No more! I'm now swimming LCM with half a dozen others sharing the lane, which is great, but I can't flip turn now to save my life.
Normally, I come straight into the wall, flip straight over onto my back, come straight off the wall, and roll over in the streamline. That won't cut it in circle swim. How do you do it? I have to either lead the lane, and sneak over to the left coming into the wall, or go last and stay on the right.
What's the technique?

I usually dread this scenario as I have to hold my breath longer off the wall: I flip, as my feet touch (hands have connected above my head) I begin rotation to my left, then go deep into my sdk, usually if someone is right behind me, I'm going under them, sort of. If not then I'm doing what I'm suppose to be doing anyways...
