Tips for spacing in first OWS event?

Hi, I’m a long time pool sprinter who’s got a ticket for my first OWS. I already did a familiarization class and another separate group workout on the event’s lake, which is calm and has very nice temp (and holy, ows IS fun). I don’t intend to be competitive on this event (1500m), and I can mantain roughly a 1:40 pace in the pool when swimming for distance. I think I feel fairly comfortable inside the lake but I’m still worried about the start, when there is that utter chaos of swimmers running and throwing themselves on the water. It feels I’ll inevitably bump onto someone and ruin someone else’s event. Do you have any tips to avoid colliding with people at the start?
