DON'T keep it in your mouth. A little late is a lot better than a little early!! One of my wings uses to long lanyards clipped together so it is down almost to his belt. He then can run with it in his hand and run with normal arm movement.

I'd like to echo this - don't keep the whistle in your mouth. Most guys also use a finger whistle. I prefer a wrist lanyard but it's the same idea. I don't wear a whistle around my neck.
