My favorite part is at 6:34 on….

The greatest find I made going through my old ribbons/awards were all the "Oops" ribbons we got when we DQ'd as little ones (and maybe bigger ones, too). I love that the swim community was turning mistakes into fun learning opportunities long before participation trophies became controversial.

Your Mom took good care of all your treasures!❤

Awesome video! I made my daughter keep all her awards, medals, etc. Her future kids will appreciate them😊 along with her walk down memory lane. The thing I really appreciate about this sport is the goal setting aspect. I swear, every swimmer masters that task which carries over to all areas of life more than any other sport. Her goal was getting recruited/scholarship for D1 which she achieved. Now she has a biology degree and works in the medical field and makes bank😁. Still incredibly fit and is always setting goals and achieving them. So grateful she found this sport.

I love the goal setting sheet at 7:48. Such a great tool to keep junior swimmers focused and motivated!!

This video really resonated with my daughter. She was/is on a similar path you were on as a kid. She was great at age 10, near the top in Illinois swimming, then she aged up at regionals and she's been in 11/12 now and is really seeing her friends and teammates take off, and its definitely getting to her. its good to see everything we've been telling her could pay off in the future. She just has to keep at it and keep working hard and it'll work out.

Your vids always motivate me❤❤

Thanks for your videos Cody! You are a needed inspiration.

Wow, what a great mom you have. You're very lucky.

I love this vlog! I remember the old days before the era of social media. I remember when I was 13, I was the top swimmer of my age in the country and we have this magazine called “ Swim Magazine “ and I was featured in one of the monthly issue. Your vlog somehow helped on my post retirement feeling haha. keep on vlogging my idol❤

Your my faviroute KZfaqr

Woow this video is so cool for swimmer nerds like me and you

Hey Cody is it beneficial to do on training sprints in strokes you don't swim on competitions? I am asking because I ve seen you doing sprint sets in backstroke or butterfly and I wonder if i should also do sprint sets in strokes i dont race

I thing even now, if young swimmers keep every thing simple and just do old school things they can be more focused … great video by the way

Speaking of CrossFit, the games usually have some kind of swimming component.

I have the same bobble head award

But did she include any Skittles?
