When given the 'take your mark' command, I slowly exhale and then when the 'beep' sounds I explode off the blocks and inhale as much air as I can.
My goal on a short course 50 is 1 breath halfway back.
I do the same thing on the blocks before every dive. For the 50 however, I just breathe as needed. It's a 50 though, and not a race worthwhile for me.
