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.

When circle swimming you have to adjust how you turn each length so you do not collide with others. One pool I swim in they swim left to right in the lane on the left and in the lane next they swim right to left in the lane on the right. This means the swimmers close to each other are swimming in the same direction. NO arms hitting other swimmers.
