The SECRETS REVEALED on how to swim FASTER front crawl with such little effort 

Have watched this video over and over.. This is one of the best swimming videos I've seen! Thank you Adam!

Hi Adam- I am a subscriber to your Vimeo lessons and have been practicing your technique for a month. I am starting to get it. The hardest thing for me is keep my head looking down, and arms down. I find myself getting tense after a while and looking forward and have my arm high.😅😅😅 difficult to lose the bad old habits. Yesterday, I was able swim 800 yards at 2:15. Faster than the usual 2:30 pace. So happy.

Really useful. Thank you.

In CrossFit we were coached to create movement as ‘core to extremity’,i.e. winding up the core and allowing that elastic energy to flow out along the limbs, accelerating them through the leverage. I can see exactly the same principle at work here. The hip rotation assists in whipping the driving arm back, with the added benefit of getting the body out of the way of the arm as it sweeps back. The benefits of less shoulder impingement during recovery are also very clear to see! Keen to put some work in now and see what this feels like in the open water…👍😊

Thank you. I ll be teaching my daughter how to swim in the ocean tomorrow. I m a diver and this is the best illustrative video to share with her. 🙏💕Thank u

One of the best videos about swimming

this is some sick rotation! from the top looks dope!

This is the your best video for understanding the timing between the foot flick and the opposite hand glide. I just wish so much the drone would follow you with constant altitude rather than going up all the time.

can't wait to try your technique for first tri

Been trying this technique just started getting the leg movement right unique to any one else

Love this video ❤, ur swimming 🏊‍♂️ is beautiful 😍 👌

My left shoulder is bad too I'm definely going to give this a try!

where is this? its so beautiful

hola adam no entiendo girar por un costado el brazo de recuperacion en un semicirculo ¿donde se dibuja el semicirculo con la trayectoria de la mano? me ayudaria entender esa explicacion gracias

I want to get back into swimming and hearing your British accent brought back some great memories. I'm a gay man from Lithuania and visited England in 2018 for the Gay Pride Parade in London. I had such a wonderful time. I met these two professional swimmers at the parade and they invited me to their home after the celebration and they gave me a double full body massage while nude. It was the best massage I ever had and and I will never forgot the experience. Just thinking about it puts a big smile on my face.

Thank you walker, I will try it tomorrow in the pool.

Does your program contain mobility exercises? Where did you film this? Cheers!!

Are you stacking your shoulders. When do you start your catch? When your opposite wrist enters the water or once your elbow enters?

Love this style, just staring to practice it, the part that I struggle with and don’t understand is the kicking, when to kick etc, I’ve always swam flat with constant rapid kicking as I learnt from school 🤔

Thank you for your videos, Adam. I bought a few of your videos and practising now! I'm doing one arm drill and see the benefits already. Wouldn't it be beneficial to not swim like left-right-left-right(cuz in this case during rotation we stay flat) but decrease the frequency of rotation so to speak? Like 3-6 catches by the right arm and the same with the left arm? To save time in an intermediate(flat) position.

Amazing ! 🌸💙💙💙🌼 Please , put 🐬 in this beautiful sea. 🌞

You swim in the most beautiful waters...

Im considering to subscribe to your program... will this be good for triatlon swim style?

Hailing from Barbados! I'm a lifeguard,hence causing me to do a lot of open water swimming, & tbh,I find your technique very,very helpful.

Hi again Adam, so like I said on another video I commented on, I'm an old geezer living on Mallorca (with direct sea access at foot of our Garden!) I couldn't ever do the front crawl.. never was taught.... Won't ever go in a swimming pool (unless it's salt water!) So I decided to try and learn from watching your videos (sorry.. but I ain't got any dosh to buy your videos.. would love to.. but I'm afraid it's a long story of how I am where I am!! which is A LONG WAY AWAY from my native Scotland!!) - So, do you think it's possible for a person like me, who's never ever even done a front crawl before to learn this? I seem to be getting on really good... but it's alot to remember when in the sea!! haha.. and where I am, it's right in the open... not in a sheltered bay.. so it's always pretty choppy!! My question is, do you adapt when it's choppy? as it's alot more difficult (I find) to do all this when it's choppy...U look fantastic here in the flat waters... To be honest, I'm waiting for the day here when the water is totally calm and then my lass will video me..I seem to know myself when I get it all right.. as it just feels effortless and I seem to move at some pace!! But there is always alot of boats around here... I mean ALOT!! so it's hard to get into a rhythm! I'm loving it that much that I am going to continue this right through the winter! I mean, I brought my wet suit here from Scotland (Used to surf up in Tiree in holidays!!) - My lass tells me I look really good in the water doing it.... so she's gonna video me so I can see...for someone who's never ever done front crawl... I have no idea... But i'm easily doing 3kms every morning for last 3 weeks now (that's only how long I've been doing it!!) - I am already pretty fit as I am a cycling guide here on Mallorca (on and off road) - I just wish I had done swimming long ago!! as I LOVE IT!! I used to be scared of the sea!! truly!! but not now!! and Believe it or not, I have webbed toes on my feet!! haha...I'd like again to thank you for these free youtube videos.... If I can swim half as good as you.. then I'll be well happy!!! cheers from Scottish bloke stuck in Paradise!!!

hey, i just did my first ever 4k swim with your technique. but my pace is around 1.55. actually it doesnt matter which technique i use the pace is always the same. my question is how do you increase your speed? and what aprox pace you are swimming in such videos?

Swimming speed is stroke rate times distance per stroke. If you are rotating more, with the same power put into rotation, stroke rate is naturally going decrease. Does the saving in effort and increased efficiency compensate for the drop in stroke rate? I guess that is the question every swimmer must try and find out for him/herself.

Thanks for sharing! I always can take away a lot from your advice. No offense though but in my humble opinion it seems that you end your pull to quickly. Maybe it’s the video angle, maybe it’s because of the body rotation (and your arm is hidden from above). It’s just that your arm seems to be coming out of the water before your pull has reached its full potential (and maximum power), I miss the slight „scratching“ moment of your thighs. You know what I mean? It’s the last 5-10% of the pull phase which - as I learned works best for me at least - should be made at 100% of power. You do this for a reason I guess. Is it to „save“ energy?

😍😍😍

Check out Skills and Talents. They explain this technique really good with an deeper insight. But they called it Arrow. Both videos are great sources to get started. Thank you for this video.

You have kind of a quirky arm movement with your crawl in that you do one stroke, and the other hand/arm waits until the other arm returns... then the othe arm goes. Kinda bizarre.

You seem to be swimming catch up
