Getting Warmed Up--Tips to find rhythm fast.

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

    The former egyptian olympian on my team........................ snip ..............; warm shower; jog laps in the locker room; come out 3 minutes before race and take all clothes off, jog to the blocks; swim (fast). all ? and they still allowed him to swim instead of arresting him? Sorry. Just couldn't resist.
