Re: [Paddlewise] C to C vs Sweep Roll: Rotation

This thread reminds me of a question.  I learned to roll via a C to C and later
picked up the sweep roll.  However, I don't like the way the sweep works because
the sweep of the paddle causes  pivoting of the kayak as a whole, so that when I
emerge, the bow is not pointed in exactly the same direction as when I started.
I assumed a small amount of pivoting was unavoidable in the sweep, but maybe it's
just me:  could more experienced sweepers comment?
