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.

    And frankly, it's intimidating enough swimming with someone way faster than you without having it emphasized by them lapping you every 90 seconds. Exactly, it would throw Ben Bloom into a spin ... his poor learning levels al out of whack.
