The only time I ever circle swim is during warm up at a meet. I'm unsure about one aspect of how to do it properly. If I'm coming into a wall for a turn, do I veer to the left before the wall and then push of straight or do I swim into the wall straight (on the right side) and then push off at an angle? Also, If I want to stop, do I hang out all the way to the right side or left side of the lane (assuming I'm facing the wall)? I've always done it one particular way, but was told recently that the other way was correct. Several beers ride on the answer.
Thanks, Rich
If I have closed the gap, I swim straight into the wall without drifting to the center to give the person ahead room. If I have alot of gap, I will drift to the center when I see the person ahead go by. If I stop it is usually to the left side since sometimes swimmers come straight in on the right side as mentioned above. Just what I do, maybe not necessarily right, but it works for me.
