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.

From my POV, this question is backwards. It's really annoying to me when I am the only swimmer in a lane and one person is joining, and they ask to circle.
Why oh why on Earth would someone want to circle? It's so natural to swim straight, so why would someone want to swim in circles?
Not to mention the passing difficulties - and it's usually someone lap swimming at a thrashing slug's pace.
