[Callers] Fwd: Does This Sequence Exist?

I prefer circles to the right after chains, from both positions. Still,
I'll echo those who question the circle right into swing, although my
suggested solution is different:

Replace the neighbor swing with a neighbor two-hand turn counter clockwise
twice around.

(I know you enjoy a good two-hand turn, Jerome ^_^)
