I guess what's working is giving a physical signal that control has begun and I'm counting. Any suggestions for how to convey that differently from a stroke of the counting arm.
Yeah - but they may or may not buy that explanation!

I would have the first arm count be at 1, as normal. I've never had a coach start yelling immediately about a count -- they only start yelling after 2-3 seconds if you are not counting. That's been my experience anyway...
