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.

In the masters club I swam with, we never circle swam with two per lane, it was always split, until we had a third swimmer come in, then we circled. And of course when we did circle, the swimmers were matched.
I think its normal to split a lane with two than circle especially if you're swimming in a public pool during lap swim times. Fortunately, it hasn't been crowded enough to have three swimmers in a lane.
