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
Should the coach get involved or let the lane handle it ?
I would think the easiest way to handle the issue is for the coach to set the rules on circle swimming and make it consistent for everybody. This would save a lot of discussion and cut to the chase; the swim workout! If everybody is on the same page, it simplifies everything.
I haven't shared a lane for workouts since high school, so this is just my :2cents:...
