This is really annoying to me, but why does it seem the first option for most rec swimmers is to split the lane when there are 2 swimmers. I always say we should swim circle if I am in the lane and someone else is coming in, but if I am coming in the person usually wants to split the lane. It is so unnatural to be swimming on the left side of the lane.
I prefer splitting as opposed to circle swimming on the rare event that I swim during open swim. Sure, when a third person tries to join, everyone needs to understand to shift to circle but unless the 2 people in the lane are approximately the same speed, there will be quite a lot of passing.
