Remember that this is not a competition. If you're nervous, do some slow deep breathing and visualization before you start (for example, imagine yourself on scuba swimming below you, having successfully completed the course).
A good plan is to start your swim at about half the speed you think you can maintain. That way you never get winded and stressed. You might even choose a song you can sing to yourself to keep your pace even.
