How to Overcome a BAD Swim

[@carbeeezy2203]

Hey man just wanted to let you know your vlogs do inspire me. I have been in the hospital in and out 9 times and watching your vids help me relive these swimming moments before I got so sick. You encourage me to get back to swimming. I hope I will someday!

[@kelseymayer3720]

Out of curiosity, did you get into the weight room??

[@peridotemma]

In February I swam my fastest 100m free long course I’ve done in my 4 years at Uni and for a brief moment I too was disappointed because I didn’t hit the target but then realised my hard work over 4 years had paid off and I had gone faster and I should celebrate that. Sometimes swimmers are so focused on hitting the numbers they forget how great it is to knock any amount of time off your PB 👍🏻

[@annaslominski2067]

Perfect timing for this video. Just had a tough season and need a little motivation.

[@floofirainbow5040]

I’m a 11 year old swimmer and your blogs inspire me I watched this before I did my 500(an event i only did once before and hated it ) and I dropped 35 seconds it was awesome I went from 6:33 to 5:59 it was so cool because it was one of my goals to get better at that event so I trained for 2 months(going 6 days a week to a 1 and 1/2 hour practice doing my best and I did so good. I think that shows how far you can get by just setting your mind to something.😁🏊🏻‍♀️

[@andrewschmitt5979]

I get how you can use this as motivation but it was my last meat that I swam for the year and I did not swim good

[@MrWakka123]

in my first year of med school and trying to maintain my training without my team has been difficult. But your vlogs and sets have helped me a lot, keep it up :)

[@sambroomhead6506]

Loving the vlogs Cody! Biggest thing I've learnt from you so far is that tyr is pronounced T-Y-R not tier

[@eatsleepswim1035]

Sam Broomhead it’s tier

[@iancullicott6867]

Eat, Sleep, Swim Both ways are correct

[@jessicaadams5611]

Hey Cody, I wanted to know your thoughts on whether and how the atmosphere and culture of swimming (and sport in a more general sense) has changed over the years?

[@alexfalcon8603]

I just found you yesterday. And I’m in love with your videos. Can’t wait for more! You’re so funny and wise. Thank you. Makes me appreciate swimming so much more and I’ll miss doing competitions in the future. 💕

[@mareyplana8358]

My best friend is in the thumbnail awe. It’s awesome seeing my old team.

[@sanabenildo]

Hi Cody, can you make a video on what you do before you train, like your warm ups, stretching, and any advice about your leg cramping during swimming. TIA

[@angelae6078]

I am a 11 year old swimmer and I have had a bunch of bad swims. You are my idol.

[@megantorner3644]

How do you deal with shoulder injuries?

[@aliehita8198]

I had my first Bad race tonight I thought I was disqualified and I was obviously mad about it but I was happy at the end because I found out I wasn’t disqualified and I got 4th and that I dropped 3.99 seconds so in the long run I learned and found out awesome news! Edit: I swam the 100 breaststroke which is usually is my best event!

[@albertlorenzhuevos1424]

your vlogs inspire me to train harder thank you!

[@nikkiwlh7053]

I really love your vlogs! I just had a really bad day but after watching your vlog it cheers me up so thank you so much! You're so inspiring:)

[@juggrixhzo1134]

Cody I love your vlogs and watch every single on of them but if you want to increase your viewership LET US SEE THE SETS! Everytime you do a workout you skip past or speed up the set so we can't see it. Next time you do a set of say 20 50's pace let us see you actually swim a few of them. Its what we want to see!

[@kobemcewan5648]

Ive got swimming in 6 hours and you upload... keep up the amazing work love the vlogs!

[@chem-core]

Cody, love your vids!!! One suggestion, check out the preferences on your gopro and up your frame rate, if possible. That will make the footage waaayyyyu better

[@yuriyugoslavic9837]

Your so awesome man, you give many people motivation to keep going

[@olivias9722]

I could not relate to this more!!! This morning i was seeded 4th but it wasnt my best time, i hit my best time and thought I finaled little did I know that I got DQ’ed for twitching on the blocks something i didnt know i did, but then I jammed out to my music and swam a best time and finaled in the 100 back

[@TriWongTRI]

If you get in a practice in NYC would love get in a practice with you!

[@thepikachuoftexas3871]

Happiest Bronze and Gold Medalist! 😊

[@anishjayant1237]

We meet again Pikachu... Who watches more swimming utube, me or you We've both been to every vlog...

[@yuangaybsomera9968]

Thank you Cody for inspiring me I am also a swimmer I love your vlogs thank you again

[@lilyfranklin3531]

I literally knew all the sandpipers that were in your vlog 😂

[@hudsonpace4850]

Cody I have always been like you in the way that I bounce back. I've been consistently dropping time for years and years, and I've always been happy with that. Recently, I went a best time in the 100 freestyle, a 54.61. I was exuberant. After that best time though, it's like my body kind of gave up. I've only been able to break 55 twice since then, and at my state meet I swam a 57. I feel like I've peaked, even though I know that can't be true and it's all in my head. How do I get over that? I know swimming is a very mental game and requires mental fortitude, but right now I just can't seem to perform under pressure like I used to.

[@thajemm4371]

If you say you peaked, then you have peaked. As Cody said, find out from your coach what you’re doing wrong. Always have a positive attitude in life.

[@TheGoat-dp5xy]

Hudson Pace maybe your technique changed?

[@billyblood1129]

You definitely haven't peaked yet. The way you get over it is by working harder every day and getting help with you're technique from your coach. Once you get older you'll learn that you need to shave and taper for the big meets and it's actually a very big process to be at your best performance and you can only really have a couple really good meats a season once your training gets harder so I wouldn't be worried.

[@ignacio2763]

At what age do you think it is too late to really start swimming. I am going to college next year and probably going to start swimming again. I swam my first 3 years of high school competitively and just did regular high school season my senior year. I am going to start no matter what, just wondering what age you think is the latest.

[@mareyplana8358]

Oh my gosh Allie, Chloe, Reese, and all of them bahaha

[@TheTinkushal]

So uplifting and positive, time to go swimming :)

[@dannyboy0689]

I love the Georgia Tech pool and I have meet there on Saturday

[@kitkatswims1116]

Love it! Just did a video about this too. :) You are awesome!!

[@zachrobbins8344]

I swim for the Mission Viejo Nadadores and we are in Southern California swimming like sandpipers

[@sophie3884]

The beard's looking real nice man 👌

[@rewindtothepast]

they made ittttttt

[@benjohnson8573]

Eldridge Harris hahahahaha they did

[@angelae6078]

I agree 100% two swimmers in a pool

[@heywhatup899]

I fucked up my 100 fr at DISTRICTS and went slower by half a second than I did last week at sectionals. I just feel so sad and disappointed in myself and I feel like I wasted my season

[@memepatra3965]

What swim suits do you wear for swim meets

[@achyuthrachur2180]

What's the camera gear that you use?

[@nathanalexander263]

I swan the 500 free and I went from a 7:22 to a 6:39 and the last time I swam that was November.

[@user-yv7lu8bq3o]

How do you get up in the morning. And how do you get into the pool in the morning, any tips

[@laurenblevins7790]

I had a swim meet last weekend. It was awful then my coach said I had to do a 200 im relay

[@benhebacker27]

i know you don't answer questions on KZbin but: silicone or latex caps???

[@j_flosi704]

What goggles do you use? For practice and races

[@ashhleyjl]

This blog was on my birthday 😘😘😂

[@Underw0rld4]

What goggles do you use??

[@sindresandven]

Have you ever had chloride issues? Like runny and itchy nose, lots of sneezing, sore eyes etc. If so, how do you overcome it?

[@geethaboppana4644]

THANK YOU

[@steveathagen8897]

Is that Speedo exclusively for the national team?

[@lukerenier7229]

Hey where do I ask the questions?

[@olivia-xc2zr]

i'm really afraid i won't be able to get the qualifying time i want......it's annoying because i know i can and should be able to drop but i keep failing to and my last chance is in 2 weeks......i'm only 0.07 seconds away PLEASE i want this cut SO BAD

[@Hoehihoh]

No reason to say please. No one is going to give it to you. You have to earn it. If you know you can, prove it. I believe in you!

[@emmamann3252]

good luck!!! update us about the cut :) i hope you’ll get it!

[@juliadanielle7920]

In almost every video of yours you talk about foam rolling and my question is does rolling get easier because I recently started rolling after practice thanks to you but I feel like it makes me more sore

[@williamrithaler4051]

It should hurt but in a good way yk?

[@laurastandley4834]

I get happy when I flip turn and turn over successfully to resume freestyle

[@williamrithaler4051]

What

[@williamrithaler4051]

U get happy when u do a flip turn😂

[@flyboymic7182]

Excellent‼️

[@rararara0244]

why is diving into the pool the hardest thing?

[@markbrown9346]

Thanks because I just swam 50 breaststroke and was gonna get a35.80 but I went a 37.56 👌👌

[@chloewhittington326]

Great blogs

[@bencross1]

Why does it say sand on your cap I thought you swim for IU

[@kyleburke9813]

I’m the fastest on my team and when I swim in a meets I’m the slowest I don’t know what to do

[@laurahihaha]

Did you manage at the end to get in the weight room? XD

[@margaretea889]

Love it

[@viktormihajlovic108]

Hmmm

First💪🏻

[@2151991]

hes talkn to much

[@Lokra_]

The fact that after many years of swim, you still have these basics failures means just one: You are not focused on swimming anymore. The present is always the result from the "past" thoughts. So, the poor swimming, means not motivated enough to swim fast. Vlogging is more important. This showed in your dropping from the worlds, and the weak result on the nationals. Lets see this year. And stop bringing this Olympic medal. You are not that person anymore. If you was, you would have won your races. How from 3rd you get so late back in US. Not to mention the swimmers from the rest of the world.
