    You cannot omit a pronoun if it is in the comment:
    Завтра в Москву уезжаю я. (а не кто-то другой) - in this sentence, "я" is the main information, so it cannot be dropped.
    both Уезжаю в Москву завтра. and Завтра в Москву уезжаю. without the "Я" sound pretty good to me.

    Пойду купаться в озере, ты идешь со мной? also sounds ok to me. ЧЯДН?
