Does anyone else suffer from oxygen debt after tumble turn?

This is not the least of my worries in swimming, but I tend to fall into oxygen debt after tumble turns. In fact, when I keep doing tumble turns in lap swims, it is less taxing to swim 50 LCM than 25 SCY, because I have more time in 50 LCM to recover from the oxygen debt, whereas in 25 SCY, I have to do another tumble turn and fall, yet again, into oxygen debt, before fully recovering from the previous bout.
Do other master swimmers out there suffer from a similar problem? How do you over come this?

I always feel a bit O2 deprived after a turn and pushoff, especially if it's a no breather between the flags and wall coming in and going out. Having said that, within a few strokes and a breath or two I am back into a swimming comfort zone. I have noticed that this problem has become less pronounced since I have clamped down my intervals. It started out a little worse of course, but it keeps getting better and better.
