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 have never done circle swimming at a rec pool, and have no plans to ever do so.
It would be unbelievably frustrating and annoying. I'd be plowing over/into people constantly with the amount I do backstroke ... No thanks.
If there are only two people in the lane I completely agree! There is no reason for me to keep passing someone time and time again or waiting for that person if we are nearing the end of the lane...
