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 once had someone insist on splitting (she was faster than me) and then forget to tell me that a third person had just joined the lane and she was switching to circling. A head-on collision resulted - if someone insists on splitting, you must insist on being informed if that changes.
