I always struggle with the first few hundred yards of a swim. I know I could do better if I could reduce the sagging period I suffer at the start of longer races. I loosen off my muscles and feel ok but breathing seems to take forever to get settled. It happened to me in the first 10 miutes of a football match too, then I'd find my lungs.
I'm always terrified of blowing myself out if I get too aggressive in warm up.
What tricks or tips do you guys and girls have that you will share?
Thanks

I heard this before and don't know for sure if it is true: the better condition you are in, the longer the warm up needs to be. ??

I have heard this before and I can relate; although not to the degree that you speak of. Swimming a 1650+ as a warmup is not my cup of tea.
