We're opening the discussion and making it 'sticky' now so you've got plenty of time to pile in with questions, and so Bill can get answering your questions at 1pm tomorrow (rather than having to deal with a rush of questions at once).

Afternoon Bill,
as a follow up question to Kate's is it better to target frequency (I could get to the pool every workday lunchtime, but only for half an hour or so in the water) or volume (2 or 3 evening/morning sessions of up to an hour)?
Thanks.
IF, you only had 2 or 3 sessions a week how would you make best use of your time
I can appreciate the last 3 questions can probably be dealt with in one answer !!!
I want to do a middle distance triathlon in 2012 or 2013. My swimming feels uncoordinated and I can't get the timing of my stroke and the kick to be in sync. What beat kick is best? I feel very slow in the water. People say my technique is okay. I just don't move fast, or far. I have been swimming in a lake in a wetsuit 5 times now. I find it hard to keep going. I am not scared. I just seem to take time to get settled with my breathing and get used to the cold water in my nose. I have alwas felt like I should just quit for the first 30 minutes.
Hi folks,
I'm afraid I've just had a call from the team at Speedo. Due to unforseen circumstances Bill won't be able to do today's webchat. I'll make sure that when we do get Bill back on board (hopefully next week) this thread is used and your questions are answered!
Apologies again,
Alice
