I would not call this a "common swerve maneuver" as I have only ever seen one robot get notable benefit from using it. Turning around one wheel is the worst case scenario for a swerve with front and back wheels tied because two wheels on the same side should ideally have a large speed differential.
Regardless, It should be possible to perform this maneuver with something like this:
