HOW to SWIM in OPEN WATER in all Conditions

[@ankitamitra2148]

This is poetry in motion. Your strokes are perfection.

[@martintramuntbikemallorcak481]

your stroke has changed my life too Adam... Many many thanks for sharing! Everyone watches me when I swim here on Mallorca!!

[@katherinechang7652]

Your swim is a thing of great beauty. Looks so effortless and graceful. I can swim butterfly no prob, but my freestyle has a lot of room for improvement.

[@sumitagarwal3788]

Great that you find it easier to swim butterfly than freestyle

[@UputstvaOrg]

Oh man, you are an "swimming artist" 🏆🏅

[@josevargas3854]

Thank you for your class.Very good advice & make sent.Many times I was in the water and do that without the knoledge.👍🙏💪🇺🇸

[@adamwalker32]

That’s great glad it helped :)

[@napraznicul]

I partially agree. I'm also open water swimmer, BUT i swim also when the sea is VERY agitated, situation when the only stroke available is STRIGHT HAND high up , as some swimmers do for high peace/speed. That way the big waves didn't block your hands in classical high elbow stroke.

[@adamwalker32]

If you swim flat then the shoulder is lower and I agree you have to lift. I’m on my side when I do my recovery arm so shoulder is much higher and therefore I don’t have to do a straight hand up high the recovery arm can be more of a sweeping motion. Try it 👍

[@napraznicul]

@@adamwalker32 I was trying everithing, i know well what you said, in waters with small waves i swim in classic style, elbow up, spread fingers, hips turned opposite of recovery arm, as you show in video, but with head little bit lower in water and breathing on left side only (i bteath both only when sprinting - at 4 arms). I always swim with body horizontally, never sinking my hips (not even in breaststroke- there i developed few own variations which works very well, good speed and help training my core muscles)

And good morning sir greetings here from my beloved country philippines..

[@adamwalker32]

Hello 🏊‍♂️

[@elizabethsabit3883]

Nice one you really a good swimmer

[@adamwalker32]

Thank you 🙏

[@skywind1403]

I'm a bit curious about how you catch and pull the water. Is it an EVF or an S-pattern pull?

[@mohamaddashti2283]

Hi Adam, the cause of the feeling of swimming in the descent is the kick of the foot, thanks

[@mjchecksfield914]

One of the big differences is learning how to play the waves and currents. Generally, yes you need to go under the top of the wave so it doesnt push you backwards. But some of the top swimmers power over the top of the crest of the wave and then can accelerate on the down slope back of the wave and at the same time cresting the wave gives you a momenrtary good vision of where the buoys or your direction markers are. If you spend too long going under the waves you can end up well off course, so you need to develop both skills, going under and cresting.

[@sebbedieenterprises4249]

Hi what happened to your shoulder and knee... The injury, what caused it?

[@bretzky9261]

How much faster would you go with a higher cadence?

[@nomnq]

I would say you rotate about 70-80 degree not 90, is not that right? I was trying to do 90 and it feels bad, i need to move my head for that (its easy to do when you rotate your head for a breath), and when you dont breath its uncomfortable to rotate 90, more like 75. Also, on the video you seem to rotate more when on the breath side. And why not to do full deep breath instead of 20% in 20% out?

[@muckimuck733]

Yes it's Hard rotate 90 you always over ore under rotate

[@nomnq]

@@muckimuck733 it is not hard if you know how to do it, its just uncomfortable, not effortless

[@muckimuck733]

@@nomnq I am good trust me working for 4 years every day and still not perfekt

[@nomnq]

@@muckimuck733 well maybe you should rest for a couple of days c:

[@wsalas13]

Great great videos sir...quick question...do you begin the pull when the opposite hand enters the water or just prior

[@adamwalker32]

No I wait for a roll then kick followed by a pull

[@aragonruben]

Me gusta mucho tu estilo, es muy elegante y cómo, ¿cuál es la velocidad a la que vas con ese ritmo? 1:20 min/100m

[@adamwalker32]

In this video around that speed or a little quicker

[@stormywright1176]

Where are you located?

[@abelaguilar8137]

How about sighting I do not see any sighting in open water

[@wondwosondemissie4510]

Me too. This is what I observed. I don't see you sighting. Do you have anything to say, Adam?

[@adamwalker32]

I have a boat next to me so no need to sight on this occasion. I have other videos sighting in even rougher conditions on my page. I can sight with no loss of speed in rough conditions with this technique.

[@abelaguilar8137]

@@adamwalker32 id like to visit for a weekend session. Coming from the USA. Visited York back in September.

[@mjchecksfield914]

Yes, sighting is super important and not mentioned here. Please see my comments on cresting the wave for good direction or sighting.

[@muckimuck733]

Sighting is also a piece from the Puzzle 🧩

[@nightcruisin]

I wonder if he switches side to breathe now and then.

[@adamwalker32]

Yes sometimes I do every 2 strokes to the left as I’m balanced it doesn’t matter

[@elizabethsabit3883]

Sir do i need a big pull when breathing and rotate by 90 degrees? Because when i swim down hill i submerged all my head and im struggle to breath..

[@adamwalker32]

Make sure you don’t lean to the shoulder when swimming down hill 👍

[@elizabethsabit3883]

@@adamwalker32 good morning again sir... Do i need a big pull? I mean hard pull so i can breath easliy just like you sir?

[@maemilev]

Whats ur training distance like in the pool daily? Nice stroke but ur comments are all nonsense

[@tajhulk]

It look east, but there is no sighthing. You may off course !

[@adamwalker32]

I had a boat next to me so no need to sight in this Video. There’s other videos I’ve posted show sighting 👍🏊‍♂️
