Timely as I sit here scanning YouTube while recovering from shoulder surgery where my surgeon detached and reattached my bicep tendon to the humerus because it was week and ready to rupture. Long time swimmer starting at the age of 10 and now a 67 year old triathlete, I will give this method a go next February when I am cleared to swim again….thanks!

Hi adam

Respect and regards to you for teaching your revolutionary technique on front crawl swimming. I am a beginner and i have been following your youtube vidoes for 15 days now, and try to practice it out in the pool everyday.

Yesterday for the 1st time, i was able to connect the pull action of "hips initiated ", instead of pulling from shoulders.

However i am still struggling a lot with legs spiral action and two beat kick
I am feeling quite happy. Cant thank you enough

Fantastic. I will try in the pool tonight

Great Sport achievements with great technic and cool describtion, a question is your kick the same as the beatkick

[baligo]

Using your low intensity style as guide I was able to advance from 20m (and being out of breath) to 200-300m atm . Probably could do more but I am still getting tired fast.
Thanks & Cheers!

Outstanding. Thank you for your knowledge & theory

I just discovered your videos and thank you so much for sharing all this! You just made my day

I have been swimming for about a year now. 4 times a weeks, 8 to 12km per week. Mostly training for Ironman Distance.
Did my first IM few months ago and doing my second one in a few months.
My swimming went bad to okayish (Managing to hit 1:35min/100m in the pool). Still not fantastic in openWater (Did my 3800m in 1h17min, which is roughly a 2min/100m pace, not great). My open water swim is less good than my pool swimming. But most of all I constantly have tight shoulders. And the wetsuit makes it worse ... Some days I feel I can't get a proper catch because it just puts too much pressure on my shoulders.

I have been working with a coach to reinforce my supra/infra/teres majors/Delt ect ... as well as my mobility. Hoping that it might go somewhere one day. But what I discovered watching your videos is just amazing. And it just changes everything!

Thank you again for sharing your technique.

It's insane how the legs are so high without kicking almost as if you have z pullbuoy, how do you do that???? Amazing really.
I still cant make that downhill feeling:(

[billgardyne]

Mass can’t be changed, it is a reduction in profile that comes from rotating.

[josephmazurie]

I am convinced with almost every point of your method (thanks !). 2 small doubts (1)- why pull the arm as far as possible backward instead of just at the hip level ? And (2). I find the 2 beat kick a bit inelegant (I am 72 y old, and still trying to improve —sent this message from France)

[MegaFarkh]

Greetings from Morocco, that was beneficial .

[noname-hmoq]

BTW the guy on video (Adam) swims pool in just 25 seconds with 11 strokes and without legs.
It is amazing!

Muy buena tu técnica me funciona. Hago mucho este ejercicio. Saludos desde Madrid.

[nicholasmasi]

I am subscribed to your Vimeo thanks for your videos. Really using this time to nail your technique. I'm a bit confused about the leg flick I also think I am pulling way too deep but I am rotating better and better but adding the breath is challenging ☺️

[علیکوثری-نص]

I practice from your videos. Now I do the walker technique well when I breathe right. But when I breathe from the left side, I cannot perform the technique as well as the other side. Is it the same for you?

[videofan]

This makes a lot of sense to me because I could be at risk for injury and then I would not be able to swim at all.

Hi Adam,
As you explain, probably has nothing to do with less drag when you are on your side. Since you are still under water, slicing vertically or horizontally makes no difference.
What I presume makes the difference, is that part of your body is out of the water, (shoulder and upper half of torso) thus producing less drag.

Here's my resume....now here's the drill!

[pocketcharts]

I am noticing there is no kick- shouldn’t you at lease point and give a FLICK KICK every 2nd stroke?
