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'd have to pack up and go home after this warm up(s). :cane: Must be the difference between sprinters and distance swimmers.
It takes me a very long time to warm up. Trust me, if I could sprint, I would.
