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.

    Why can't rec. swimmers wait on the wall, until the person in the lane knows he/she is there to swim? I get run into more often than not by a rec. swimmer who doesn't know to wait until the person/persons in the lane know they are there...geezz
