Maybe they think it discourages others to join the lane? The way it is now, you can just slide right in and start swimming. If you had to get in and warn both other swimmers you were there so that the 3 could circle, maybe that would be disruptive? I don't know. But I've gotten used to it over time.

Unlike Tuesday, the open lap lanes were nearly deserted this morning. The swim team/masters swin lanes were busy, but not the open. Started out sharing a lane with a gal I see there all the time, but she left and the lane was mine until I was through. Yay!
