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 swam with Mel Nash at Greater Pitt Swim Club on Twin Oaks Drive in Penn Hills (near Plum Boro) when it was coached by *** Bower. Mel was a good five or six years older than me. We little age groupers pulled a prank or two on good old Mel. GPSC had Mel, Ricky Hoffstetter, Billy Glasstetter, Billy Bower, Scott Root, Reed Slevin, Moochy and Jody Eyles, Kathy Stettler, and a host of awesome swimmers - for the East Coast anyways. We were the tri-state powerhouse along with LEC and CPM.
How is masters swimming in western PA? Seems a little limited...
All's well in PA. Alas, no be-floatied candy-stripers in lane 3 of the Sewickley Valley Family YMCA today. I plodded along 160 lengths with nary a soul to be molested by or to molest.
I was thinking about Penn Hills swimming just the other day. Did you ever swim here in the Mel Nash era? Seems like he swam for the Suburban Swim Club, which was once (and maybe still is) headquartered somewhere near or on Rodi Road in Penn Hills.
