Thank you so much ! I watched this yesterday, adjusted my breathing and did something I haven’t done in years … swim 1.1 Km (100 laps of my pool) without a break

[holilly]

After watching your video time and time again, I can now swim in the ocean with ease! Love your stroke! Thank you 🙏

[Sanko]

Watching your stroke over and over and over as you narrate is so helpful. Thank you!

Watched this, keen swimmer not brilliant but really enjoy it. Usually with a 45 min session I can get 65 lengths swimming 2 lengths and 4 lengths (25m pool) as really struggling with knocking myself out with exertion.Took on board the style and the breathing techniques… today 45 mins 80 lengths non stop and I COULD HAVE GONE ALL DAY. life guard even he’d to give me a tap on the head to say time was up. Amazed and really happy what brilliant advice and guidance relaxed everything is the key. TOP VIDEO 👍👍👍👍👍

Adam I found this very useful. Especially emphasis on looking down and and imagining that you are swimming down stream

[dennisopolentisima]

I'm training for my first triathlon and I'm a horrible swimmer. This has been the most helpful video thus far!!! Thank you!

[dorishamilton]

You are I’m so much better. Every one your videos repeatedly reminds me of the logic of swimming.. My right shoulder started to hurt because I was flat and my elbows were wings over the water. Thinking that what I had to do. I took off a few weeks and took time to stretch my arms and view your videos. Now im doing just what you say from A- Z. It’s made me so comfortable now without fear of hurting myself. Im rotating shoulders and hips, semi circles catch, flicking my feet 2 beat with hips, head dorm, side back sips, piercing/gliding . God blessed me by seeing your videos… I can’t thank you enough… Now if you can tell me how to flip turn🙏🏻

[fpenang]

I’ve seen hundreds of swimming vids and this is the best one.

Super explanation of breathing technique. Also 'Imagine you're swimming downhill' resonated with me and I realised the key word is 'imagine'. Since discovering your videos, web site, vimeos etc at the end of last November, I stopped doing my usual daily mile and switched to intensive drills focusing on different aspects of the Ocean Walker technique. I'm very happy to see a steady improvement. I'm now swimming faster that ever but with less effort. I'm nowhere near perfect but very happy to be progressing. Many thanks.

This is enlightening. I agree that you don't necessarily have to exhale all the air out of your lungs. It causes our bodies to gasp for air in the intake. It's a good tip to leave some air in your lungs and avoid that desperate gasp. You feel comfortable and you can control your breathing more naturally and swim for much longer.

[zammcka]

Great tips on breathing! I haven’t yet mastered this. It is harder to learn as an adult! I am an endurance athlete, but can’t swim 100 metres without feeling like I am dying! I had my coach stumped because he does it naturally and couldn’t figure out why I swallow so much water without spitting before breathing. I also haven’t figured out my rhythm yet. This is very helpful though, so thanks 😊

[seanfella]

Great tip with the emphasis on pushing your temple into the water on the breath... Simple and effective to lift the hip.
Have used your idea of swimming down hill also, love it.

[alejandropinson]

It was really helpful hearing you exhale and holding your breath, it was more clear to me when to do what. Thank you!

[tishcooper]

I've been watching videos for 2 hours in vain and finally this video has it all in one perfect 8:44 shot. Thank

From this mechanism and from principal of fluid mechanics ...
Coach Adam is using two mechanism to using kinetic Energy's..
Method 1 : adding kinetic Energy by half rolling ..here body rotating about spinal chord this energy is beneficial and have to great effects...
Enhance uplifting in front body
Provide any additional crawling force to push swimmer to front direction
Decrease the crawling force on the shoulder muscles...
The last point the front area of swimmer will be less ..so the weight of water the pushed by swimmer will be less....

Method 2: providing kinetic Energy by pulling water by hand ...
It is like you move you body by two engines ...
Arms and shoulder muscles
Core muscles of hips ...
Last point when pushing water down by chest during rotation ..this increase the pressure of water at chest area of swimmer ...this simply means increase uplift force for swimmer increase stability and give swimmer a chance to do this movement of breathing as he explained ...
Many Thanks Coach Adam ...
Hope meet you one day to teach me swimming and also I will share you all of my knowledge for mechanics and fluid mechanics ..
Thank You

I really love Adam's swim style. I'm practicing to get the same rhythm. He said: roll, kick and pull. Lesotho.🇱🇸🇱🇸🌹

[markgrenier]

I can't buy lessons...all I can do is imitate.. but I will tell you. This technique is already engrained in my mind from watching it.
I go to the pool and try to copy what I see.
Thx sooo much. Awesome teacher
