I carry two connected whistles in hand with no lanyard. I don't use a lanyard because I want to be able to blow the whistle and use my hands at the same time. (I think I've seen one or two referees with a neck lanyard in the last decade.) I connect two whistles together because it gives me more to hold onto and a thin spot to stick between my thumb and index finger so I can give open-hand signals even with a whistle in hand.
