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 agree.I spent years circle swimming and while I'm just a lap swimmer at the moment, I prefer to split the lane. I am about middle speed compared to the lap swimmers that do come and swim (some days I am the fastest and that ain't sayin' much, believe me).
I always split if possible or I'd be lapping people or they'd be lapping me.
