The Ocean Walker Technique is nothing less than a revolution in swimming stroke technique. Devised by Adam Walker out of necessity after he suffered a serious, career threatening shoulder injury. It completely changes the biomechanics of freestyle swimming. Instead of power being led and generated by the chest and shoulders, it is instead generated by the muscles of the "core" in a rotational movement of the legs, hips and lower torso. It takes inspiration from other sports such as golf and tennis, which use the same "core muscles" to generate power and timing. The shoulders assist forward propulsion from a biomechanically much safer position, operating below 90 degrees of movement from the side of the body, thus reducing compaction of the shoulder structures... |

| Adam qualified as an ASA Level 2 swimming coach in 1996 and has taught all abilities and all ages. What makes Adam different is that after his first channel swim he quickly realised that his body wouldnt cope with the stress it was under. His surgeon warned him against doing any more swimming and (being determined) this made Adam look at the way he swam and how he could change his stroke to enable him to carry on. Adam used to swim full throttle, flat and using the chest. Over the years he adapted his stroke to reduce further injury to his shoulders. The technique that evolved got him through several channel swims and events. Adam is now teaching others his unique stroke, hoping to either completely prevent similar injuries in others or to ensure you dont aggrevate an injury further, and are able to continue swimming to your hearts content.
