Why do rec swimmers split the lane?

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.

    Don't know if it was because of oxygen deprivation to the brain cuz of too short an interval, or just an effort to combine split lane with circle swimming, but I have (more than once) managed to surface from my turn push off in the neighboring lane and added yet another "confirmed kill notch" to my tanking rep.
