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 used to not mind it, but I know dislike splitting. My pointer finger knuckle is now the size of a plum because I tried to hug the lane line a little too close while doing fly. I find I brace myself or overcompensate every time I'm passing/being passed more so than during circle swimming.
