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 if there are only two of us. It's a lot easier than having to pass over and over or be passed. Circle swimming only really works well if the people sharing the lane are about the same speed
