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
What rtodd said. You should always flip as far to the left as possible. Depending on how closely people are together, that might mean the person in front of you is in the left corner, and you're in the center. If you flip in the right corner, you're guaranteed to hit someone who is very close behind you because there is nowhere else for them to go.
