Adam Walker

Adam Walker has delivered his inspirational story all over the world, his talks are mind blowing and show what is possible if you put your mind to it!

After university, Adam pursued a successful career in sales, but something was missing. In 2006, an in-flight movie about swimming the English Channel inspired him to take on that challenge himself. Despite a severe bout of hypothermia during early training, Adam persevered and swam the English Channel in 2008. He then became the first British person to complete a two-way crossing of the Gibraltar Strait.

Adam’s journey didn’t stop there. He aimed to complete the Oceans 7 Challenge, despite suffering a ruptured bicep tendon that required multiple surgeries. This led to the development of the Ocean Walker Technique, a new swimming method that allowed him to continue his passion.

Over seven years, Adam swam all seven channels of the Oceans 7, facing obstacles like jellyfish stings, shark encounters, and extreme weather conditions, all while maintaining a high-pressure sales job. His dedication and resilience were unwavering, even as he dealt with personal losses and funded his swims largely out of his own pocket.

Today, Adam runs Ocean Walker Ltd with his partner Gemma Clarke, coaching swimmers on stroke technique and sharing his experiences. He is a motivational speaker, Ambassador for the RLSS and Zoggs UK, and author of “Man Vs. Ocean,” a bestselling sports autobiography on Amazon. Adam’s journey from salesman to one of the world’s toughest ocean swimmers is truly inspirational.

Adams high energy presentations will keep your audience captivated with key message such as: DETERMINATION, NEVER GIVING UP, GOAL SETTING, NOT FEARING FAILURE and GROWTH MIND-SET along with incredible footage of his actual swims.
