Came for the swimming; stayed for the scenery. Wow to both!
I may have seen 20 to 30 videos on you tube to learn techniques of freestyle swimming. I am just a beginner, so in my opinion, this video has inspired me, and given tips to do the best style amongst several free style techniques, especially since my aim is to swim efficiently, sustainable without injury to shoulders joints, and most importantly enjoyable
Beautiful scenery!!!!! Love it
Wow! Great advise, and awesome place you are swimming at! Perfect!
Beautiful scenery ♥
Your approach seems fairly close to what I was taught in the late 1990s, which probably kept me in the sport. Before that I was finding it very exhausting to swim, and harder and harder to return to training.
Regarding the kick, I generally use a two-beat kick, but occasionally throw in some four-beat or six-beat kicking in shorter swims. The elite swimmers use a variety of kicks, such as Ledecky's two-beat vs Titmus' six-beat in the same race. My view is to use the strong kick if you find it propulsive, but to stick to a low-energy kick if you don't.
Thank you Adam. Really love your instruction method. No ego just beautiful swimming technique. You have changed my way of swimming. Much appreciated. Wishing you continued success.
Thank you very kind
I purchased your course and couldn’t swim a week ago and was afraid of the deep end. I made it across the deep end of the pool today. I just have to learn to swim straight. I haven’t even incorporated the foot flick yet. Thanks Adam
That’s great to hear. Thank you for subscribing to Ocean Walker Vimeo I’m so glad it’s helping a lot of people
im fascinated by swimming and this year i have started to get into it after so many years avoiding it. i can run a half marathon without preparation, or go for a 100km bike ride. just like that. so yes, my body has a lot of oxygen available. yet swimming is totally different and taxing on that. hopefully i can learn the right techniques to overcome that 🙂
Good job
I taught my kids to jump with straight head neck body and walk straight, and run straight head neck body, many find it hard to swim due to habitual posture when standing and walking , in water you need to extend your body longest, then you learn to rotate at an angle best fit your breathing, the rest will be improved naturally when you have practised adequately, just like driving a car with experiences your coordination comes naturally
Aussie Crawl Adam.
Great technique mate.
Thanks 👍
Thanks for this informative video. What do you mean by arm lower ?
Used last year in a race. Worked really well but I was still very slow (>2mins/100m probably my lack of technique). I‘m using the vimeo lessons & I hope I can get faster in 2023. Any tips would be great
Hard to say without seeing you. If you go to oceanwalkeruk.com you can book a 1-1 hour Skype session so I can take a look
Hi Adam, do you do video reviews, is there a place where I can get more info?
Yes here is the link www.oceanwalkeruk.com/product/online-coached-sessions-with-adam-walker/
How to time kick and catch with respect to breathing side? Should I hip rotate then kick or kick and then hip rotate? Were does kick fit in between breathing and catch? Thanks
have you figured it out?
yes, as your recovery hand goes to front crawl position at this time u r almost flat, u can call this process INITIAL HIP DROP which is natural fall of the Hip.
Now, you initiate Hip Kick Pull sequence. Try this method and see for your self. watch more of his rotation videos. Then u can connect what i have just said.
What type of pull do you teach?
EVF, Straight Pull or S-type pull?
Pull to a bent elbow in a straight line like you would if you were rowing
@@adamwalker32 Please elaborate on this - Chris (an international oarsman) Is is an horizontal line parallel with the bottom of the pool once you have gone over the ball or is it once you start the pull action avoid going down the bottom of the pool AND out sideways It is very interesting to hear you coach as this is just how I coached a winning Henley crew by telling them to do very soft quick catches and only to START pulling after 30% of the stroke had elapsed and then only to pull progressively I am laughed at by all the standard coaches who like to load up early and hang onto it.
Could you post underwater shots pls 😊
If you want underwater shots that’s what I do on Ocean Walker Vimeo my online coaching with explanation and specific drills. See link: vimeo.com/ondemand/oceanwalkertechnique
@@adamwalker32 Thank you, I’ll take a look.
Can i use this technique for triathlon.. specially Ironman?
What is the size of the pool in the video? Is it 25mts?
Yes
The steps reduced the usable area of the pool a lot.
Maybe I see not correctly but is lady in blue cap looking forward and kicking by bending knee?
She learing you can't change this stuff so quick i belive she swimming flat her live
I'm new to your videos. I like your plain talking expresion of what you see is going on. I subscribed! In this video, I am curious because I know I have half the story reasonably well organised, but eqully the other half seems to be in constant development and constant 'research' to bring it together! 🤪. I am sure I am in a big group. But you make a few comments that i haven't yet worked out - maybe i need to watch it again - but in my case, your comments about bouyancy 'aids' (wetsuits/shorts/floats etc) don't quite fit. Right now, I know I am doing something wrong because i will be lucky if i get 0.1% locamotion from my kick, forget 10% 😄 (no, I don't have a penalty kicker's foot!). So while I am aware of this, it is highlighted in the contrast between salt water anf fresh water. The latter meaning I cannot stop swimming, or I will sink, literally 😄. So my comment on your video, in relation to my own experience, is the absence of more emphasis on a good leg kick. I probably look like you swimming from the side of the pool, but under the water, I'm wondering if your leg kick has more significance to the whole jigsaw than pehaps you thought to comment on?
does anyone knows what's the optimal way to breath with this technique? he is breathing every two strokes, but she is breathing every three.
I find I’m much more relaxed breathing every 2 strokes
Thanks ¡@@adamwalker32
We can't see your video because of subtitles.
The arm doesn't pull the water back and that shouldn't be the aim. The arm can either anchor itself in the water or slip through it. You want to achieve the former. Then you pull your body forward over the anchored arm. This has all been demonstrated by research studies. If you imagine pulling yourself forward over an anchored arm then you will be visualising what you are actually aiming to do. Do not fool yourself into thinking that you pull water backwards.
Many thanks for these best tech instructions on YT. BUT, what an annoying lawn behind, replacing the primary forest and biodiversity. At least all new swiming pools should be environmentally friendly, such as, maybe, a mini pool including swiming turbine powered by renewable energies. I am designing one that includes one reused washing machine engine that is controlled in speed. I will publish that as soon as it is implemented
What a boring, narcissistic, off-topic comment you've left
@@Dinckelburg i understand i didn't comment the right way, sorry. Swimming should not have negative effects on nature. Swimmers in open water are immersed in nature, they are witness of plastic wastes floating, decay of algae and underwater life. This is related to our land management, waste management... For years I destroyed our planet swimming, by driving to heated chlorined public pools. I feel concerned now. Through this video I witnessed many negative impacts, that's why it is not off topic to suggest and share improvements, it is not at all a way to express pride self esteem, it is a way of survival for our close future. Sorry for my english, however I hope you understand better now? I intend to share my improvements in swimming through open source license, it is not an attempt to make money, only to share and make swimming non destructive at last.
Nice pool, nice place 👍 keep swimming in it
Make good pools, we will swim them ~~~~
Brain washed fool
Why is the woman just draging her legs and hardly kicking?! Looks terrible
Assuming it's actually 25m she just did a 40s/50m, or 1:20/100m pace. I'd be thrilled to swim that terribly!
@@christiansmith6147 I could do better, it looks wrong is what I'm trying to say
It is called two beat kick. Using that you don’t waste your energy. Leg is the largest muscle. Kicking too much wastes energy and causes exhaustion, so it is not terrible it is amazing
I know but it's not gonna give u much power
@@trialleadgen334 very true
