Lindsay,
I disagree. The main reason we swim on the right all the time (and the Aussies swim on the left) is that is what people are used to doing without thinking about it. The last thing I want to have to do in the middle of a hard aerobic set is remember if I'm in a left or right lane today (and when I'm leading, at what point the trailer has past and it's safe to cheat over to the...was it right or left side again? to avoid the drafting swimming right on my kiester). Just like driving, do it the same way every time and there is less chance of an accident.
