Proving the magical power of the sea through a personal experience and team achievement, while also breaking a world record.
Ori grew up by the sea and hasn’t left the water since. As an ADHD kid, the water was the only place which made him feel good. With over 30 years of experience as a professional swimmer, Ori is also a qualified hydro therapist, swimming coach, toddlers’ swimming instructor, Watzu, Jahara and Shiatsu therapist, triathlon coach, open water coach, therapeutic swimming instructor and pregnancy swimming coach.
He works with thousands of babies, children & adults, teaching them how to swim correctly. Some are recovering from CVA or accidents, or have fear of water.
Ori coached, swam and broke the world record with five of his friends in the longest relay open-water swim, from Cyprus to Israel. He swam 380 km with his team, in order to raise awareness on sea pollution in the Mediterranean (in association with Zalul NGO).
Ori is the founder and owner of Water World and WEST swimming technique.
