I just did my biggest open sea swim 10 mins ago... I think I am mastering your stroke now.... I know when I'm wrong.. and I just know when it's right... as it just feels like your dancing in the water... like bouncing.... I just swam across the Santa Ponca Bay to Peguera then back... and this is someone who couldn't even swim any freestyle prior to trying yours last Summer!! It was the foot flick I wasn't sure if I was getting it right.... but I think I have it now.... and your right.. it just feels brilliant when it all clicks in! I am not tired atall....my first 5km open sea swim... and now I wanna go even further!! I did have a wee bit of a panic when I was right in the middle.... but I just got my rhythm and breathing real good...My biggest problem was this was first time with a Swim Buoy... and the bloody waist strap wasn't tight enough!! haha....almost slipping down over my ass!! so had to sort that out mid water!! but great things... had my home made isotonic water bottle in it and a towel etc.... LOVED IT!! Like I said last summer... I'm struggling to get on my bikes (and it's my job!!) as all I want to do is swim...haha.... Thanks again Adam.. I'm glad I found your channel... u made this old bloke a happy camper! and I'd still love to come to one of your camps... (if u ever do 1 in Mallorca!!) - cheers Martin-Mallorca-Guiding
Did you find it tougher in salt water than lake water? It's the one thing that I can't seem to handle still
@@JennaOnTheBeach I only swim in the sea..... never anywhere else. sorry
Smooth operator...looks like a sailboat❤😊😊 how i wish to get to this level😢
Oh my God even the splashing of the water sounds the same right through 😮😮😮am i the only hearing this❤😊....u on point my man,perfect
hello, you are a courageous person and a great athlete, I read your book, man against the ocean, your problems with the arm and your will gave an unexpected effect, creating a unique, effective, beautiful crawl swimming technique (due to the impulse from the hips and not only) I would like more people to know about it and we learned, it’s a pity not everyone has the opportunity to meet with you or get lessons) I would like more videos with individual elements of the technique, even using the example of other swimmers, the popularization of swimming was and has become, I consider one of the goals of training. Sincerely.
Thank you for your kind comments. The individual elements are on video 🏊♂️👍

@@adamwalker32🙏🏾 amazing sir
Thank you for the tips. Would be great if you can post a footage demonstrating the underwater movements, especially the rotation (max. 90 degrees?), the arm pull and its upper arm angle relative to the shoulder. I am curious to know when you actually apply the force of pull - ie. at what angle of torso (shoulder) the force is applied. Thank you.
Thanks Yes I do that in detail here: vimeo.com/ondemand/oceanwalkertechnique
@@adamwalker32 Awesome Thank you
Do you have a camp or classes? If so, what country? I'm a Pro bodybuilder and triathlete. I have 2 Ironman under my belt, but the swim needs work. I don't feel like the pool translates well in the ocean. I could be wrong but I get in the ocean and it feels very different. Any info on what you offer besides vimeo would be greatly appreciated.
Yeh sure I do 1-1 lesson and swim camps in malta, Turkey, Maldives & UK. Checkout oceanwalkeruk.com
Don't you think his breathing is too high?
Yes. This is what happens when one wants to protect the shoulders from injury. The trade-off.
t's so sad, that there is nothing new with a free video, all just the same :(
I think i got the technique and it feels good, but i am too slow, cant imagine to do a kilometer in 15 mins, it takes twice longer for me. Swimming in a lake for about 2,5km total and it takes ~1 hour. Everything feels great but the speed
I have the same problem; nothing I do can increase my speed. It has stopped me having any shoulder problems, which is great, but I'm beginning to think that the stroke doesn't work for everyone in terms of speed as everyone's shape and biomechanics are slightly different. Due to the time it takes to rotate your entire body it is also hard to increase your stroke rate.
Hi. Body mechanics’s doesn’t effect doing the stroke. It’s learning how to kick effectively and get the timing correct with the pull. I have athletes from all abilities and body mechanics who have mastered the stroke. The athlete I’m with now is 5 foot 5 inches tall doing a big glide with great speed. Have you followed my system on Vimeo or learnt the steps with me in person? All the best
@@henchfit4983 well, we should probably think and try something about kick and pull timing and its effectiveness c:
Hi Adam. I have been learning the stroke from your vimeo tutorials and practicing it for 1.5 years now. Still cannot do any faster than 2 minutes per 100m, which is very frustrating. I live in NZ and was in the UK last xmas and tried to get a private lesson but you were unavailable. At this point I don't think the stroke will allow me to get the speed I need. Is everyone meant to have the same stroke rate as you (43 spm), or do you think as a more muscular person I should try aiming for 50 + ?
@@henchfit4983 Your stroke rate is bound to rotation speed. I think it is possible to rotate slower, but if you try to rotate faster you will see what is the point. I come up with the idea, that there is a optimal rotation speed, a comfortable one
