Inside lanes/outside lanes

Hi all, Is it my imagination or are the inside lanes easier to swim in? I mean, whenever I swim in an outside lane - the very outside next to a wall - I feel like the water is denser or something...like I'm having to use more strength to get through the water...less gliding ability and whatnot... However, when I swim in an inside lane - even the second lane in from a wall - I feel like the water is less dense, like I can glide more between pulls, like I'm moving more smoothly through the water... Anyone else feel this way? -Jason
