What is your typical warmup for a session or a race?

I know this is a very newbie question, and there is ample info in swim books/sites about this, but I'd love to hear from REAL SWIMMERS like you, thank you very much.
What works for you?
Lately I've been doing a series of 200m to 25m swims, usually totalling 800m, as a warmup.
Example: 2x200m + 2x100m + 2x50m + 4x25m, starting very easy, ending at "fast" pace.
In the future I hope to incorporate drills into the warmup, but I don't have a clue yet. :)
Yep, Pool markings vary, and the depth at the wall makes navigating turns for each pool different. There is a range the markings supposed to fall within to be used for competition. Flags on the other hand are standardized, but different between metric and yards pools.
