Thank you 🙏

Hello Adam, you make swimming look so easy while i am struggling haha. It will take take some time but once I will be a better swimmer. Swimming for 8 months, 46 years old.

[@dsizzzle10]

I just started swimming a couple months ago and I've been trying to find the most efficient way to swim before training for a triathlon. I stumbled across gliding a couple days ago trying to swim the laziest 500 I could. I tried it on a 100 and it literally shaved 30 seconds off of my 100 time instantly (2:00 down to 1:30, I'm slow) and made a 500 feel like a cake walk. I appreciate you breaking down your movements and breathing, this gives me a lot to practice! I'm looking forward to competing in my first triathlon even more now!

[@adamwalker32]

Thanks for the message. Yeh it’s a game changer. You should checkout my online system vimeo.com/ondemand/oceanwalkertechnique

What happens when you push your head after your left hand ? I am learning freestyle age is 67

[@akmalbinshapieimuhammad2430]

Hi Adam Ive subscribed to ur vimeo lessons and done my first ever OWS at about 8km and finished it uneventfully. I didnt have any soreneck or shoulder pain afterwards... this technique is so natural and most relaxed freestyle swim Ive learnt so far... just wanna say thank you !

[@adamwalker32]

Thank you for taking the time to message. So glad you have found Ocean Walker Vimeo useful.

[@nawalheart3071]

It would be amazing to get some footage of your view while swimming in the ocean and looking down there in this endless darkness. It scares me.

[@808OWSwimmer]

Mahalo for your excellent instructions. I’m an open water swimmer and I see a definite improvement in my endurance and overall comfort in my 2K swims.

[@alfredhuang7365]

Superb ! Absolutely perfection. My hero !

Thank you 🙏

Outstanding tecnique... seaswim today in Cornwall was the best Ive had attempting this method.. pool practicing for weeks ..thanks.🏊‍♂️

this is smooth af gotta try that ASAP Thanks for the video!

Gracias Adam. Saludos cordiales desde Bahía Manabi Ecuador

[@Anna-eu8px]

If there are jellyfish in the water, I will most definitely be looking forward! I do try to swim with your technique for the most part. Thank you for your great videos!

[@imil6798]

halo saya penggemar dari Indonesia sejak beberapa tahun lalu, semoga ada pembelajaran spesifik tentang cara melihat kedepan saat berenang seperti di video, tetap sukses kanalnya

[@Salvati62]

Looks like you induce an asymmetry on the left stroke lifting slifhtly the head, just before the fourth stroke and breathing. This little drag induce is compensated by the rythm obtained I suppose.

[@mimoumimou8731]

thanks a lot for your fantastic videos.....great

[@JamesPawson]

Busy days at the lake this summer, keep having to stop to make sure I am not about to collide with someone.. I should have worked on this sighting skill earlier-- today's the day! Don't think I'll be able to emulate the amazing, efficient, hypnotic rhythm in the video, but will try. I've never just looked forward, my joint issues mean I get a sore neck instantly, doing that.

[@williamchohfi5894]

hi Adam, I have been through all the videos. Great work. i cannot explain, but your tip about closing the mouth after exhaling made a huge difference. the semi circular recovery was the solution for a friend to return swimming. I live in Florida(Jupiter east coast). Do you have plans to do some camping near by here?? Thank you for your excellent work. kind regards, William Chohfi

[@adamwalker32]

Glad it helped you. Have you checked out Ocean Walker Vimeo I have 29 vids with instruction to follow. vimeo.com/ondemand/oceanwalkertechnique

I am due to come to LA for a camp In August hopefully

Pls visit us here in Dubai

[@Salvati62]

One point is how to avoid occasional snaking while rotating, due I think to wrong timing of the foot flip and/or related heap rotation. Most diffucult part I found in this exceptional technique is the right foot flip.

[@citoyenxy7959]

Merci pour la video si intéressante. Une autre video sur le timing de l expiration serait très instructive. Merci d avance

[@pamelaparker9772]

Adam, love your videos!! The one describing your breathing pattern solved a 2 years problem and give me an opportunity to work on the rest of my stroke!! A quick question about Roll-Kick sequence. This video says: Roll-Kick-Pull. In another one you said that the Kick triggers the Roll. So technically which is which: Roll-Kick or Kick-Roll? Thanks

[@thepatternforms859]

Hey Adam which goggles are you using? What’s your fav? Have you tried the magic 5?

[@adamwalker32]

These are the ones I designed with Zoggs. Most comfortable I’ve ever worn!! www.oceanwalkeruk.com/product/ocean-walker-goggle-zoggs-predator-flex-polarized-ultra-with-glow/

Hi Adam - Thank you for all your work.... I will sign up for the Vimeo to support you. Do you do dryland workouts? I have a troubled right shoulder and trying to find good dryland stuff that benefits marathon swimming. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for your videos 🙏🏻 I glided 🏊‍♂️(using your technics) for the first time in my life a few weeks ago 😌, amazing! 😃

[@adamwalker32]

Fantastic news!! Congratulations

[@dr.mussabalrasheed-.6296]

Wow that's awesome

[@jimsumara6605]

Thanks Adam. You make it look so easy and effortless. When the timing is right, my swimming is noticeably easier but lately my hips get stuck and fall behind and the timing is off. Also, I get the feeling of being out of breath and then there is no chance for timing to be right as everything is hurried to breathe. How do you recover your timing and get your hips “un-stuck”?

[@adamwalker32]

I really recommend you check out my online course if you haven't already. Lots of tips to help with this. vimeo.com/ondemand/oceanwalkertechnique

[@808OWSwimmer]

Me as well

[@josephstout5832]

Thanks again for another great video. I would like to sight and get a breath in the same cycle. Any advice here? I like the O2 always coming in. Thanks!

[@rodrigoc.goncalves2009]

I mean you could breathe left and sight right, if breathing frequency is a problem

[@jonathan9506]

@Adam: perfect style but: what about your feed? I find it too tiring to kick getting in that forward gliding like you do. But maybe its not the feed but your excellent body position and catch/pull?!

[@rkclime4]

Would you discuss your breathing technique? Do you hold your breath and blow out just as you turn to breathe or do you blow out while face is in water?

[@adamwalker32]

I discussed breathing on one of my other videos. I actually go through it in a lot of detail on vimeo.com/ondemand/oceanwalkertechnique as well

[@kush.blackbelt]

Sir i need training like this

[@咕嚕肉]

Very good! Thanks

[@nadakodsia2635]

Thank you so much for all this precious tips.. That helps a lot... I already subscribed & liked.. 🌷

[@statueman1000]

One day I will almost be like you. I seem to be able to do the form in a wetsuit but nit in skins in a pool

[@robertoutram7645]

Great video. I watched a few from you now and they are excellent. You seem to swim with quite a bit of catch up. You don't initiate the pull until after the other arm has entered the water again. Any reason for this?

[@adamwalker32]

Its due to the mechanics of waiting for the hip to drop one arm has to pass the other In the process.

[@TooTall_hikes]

Great video. How do you make turns? Like around a float

[@adamwalker32]

I will do a video showing this soon

[@TooTall_hikes]

@@adamwalker32 Thank you

[@jonathan9506]

Just stunning. Excellent swim

[@endo9913]

Hi Adam, Thanks for the video. I'm booked on the Devon course later this month but I had a question about what you said around 1:20. How does keeping arms, head and chest lower in the water make taking a breath easier?

[@adamwalker32]

Hi. It makes it easier to breathe as hips will be higher with chest down and arm lower. You can rotate on to the breath without lifting high your head which makes it harder. I will explain all in Devon don't worry :)

[@janfolkerts7342]

Are there lessons somewhere in the Netherlands also?

[@alfazaindra1253]

Amazing

[@andrewrlitster9966]

The deep, catch is good too take pressure off the shoulders, but a higher catch does create a stronger lift phase, of the catch of the hand , . The best , is to breathe every 3 ... balance on both sides of the body.

[@OceanWalker]

You only want to raise up just enough to clear the water. Any more uses more energy than necessary and likely your hips drop. If you are balanced in your stroke it doesn’t matter whether you breathe same side or bilateral as you are not lifting your head, instead rotating on to the breath. I am balanced no matter which side.

[@andrewrlitster9966]

@@OceanWalker Adam , it is all about , using the buoyancy in salt water , to create lift ..in rhythm with waves, / swell. Have a look at one of my, post in reply.. 40km open water Double Rotnnest channel swim in 11hr48min in 25 kt winds and 2- 3 seas.. no one has done that , in the same conditions.. I will say you are right about not wasting energy in lifting the head,,, sometimes I like to swim open water with my eyes closed for long periods , I call it sleep swimming relaxed , powerful strokes.
