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.

Just wondering did you also leave your lane to swim Fly with noodlers and the exercise class?
I remember back in age group swimming when one team would "claim a lane", and then swim in reverse circle swim direction, down the left (opposite of everyone). Really sucks because half the time, their lane was the least occupied during warmup. I used to hop in this lane and swim fly right down the middle, just to tick 'em off. :afraid::argue:
