Dolphins are truly angelic creatures. There are many people who can only dream of swimming alongside these sea-dwelling mammals yet this swimmer had the unexpected honor that would leave him forever changed.

The Man In Question

Years before he would have his dolphin encounter, Adam Walker was working the daily grind in a dead-end office job. He would dread going to work everyday, going to sleep at night with the heavy thought: Is this all life has to offer? He was desperate for a change.

Life Took An Unexpected Turn

Adam decided to change the course of his life and commit himself to becoming an endurance athlete. He was particularly interested in training to become an endurance swimmer. He set out on this new mission with precise focus. He trained daily, practising the act of swimming long distances without coming up for air. He meditated and trained himself mentally to push himself beyond the limits of what he believed he could endure.

Could Never Have Anticipated This

Adam Walker grew up in Nottingham, U.K., and had always been an avid sportsman. But his interest in sports always felt like a side hobby, little did he know that this newfound commitment to sports would change the course of his life and lead him to his once in a lifetime experience.
