In the tenth installment of his vlog series, Cody Miller brings viewers behind-the-scenes of the Indiana men’s team winter training camp, which they shared with Bob Bowman and his Arizona State Sun Devils.

Miller shows off ASU’s impressive weight room and the team’s hotel situation, contrasting it with last year’s training trip to Bermuda, where the IU men lived in “army barracks.”

The breaststroke crew, with Olympian Blake Pieroni in tow, breaks down one of their big sets: 7 x [8x50s @ 1:00] for best average. We also meet Indiana’s Ethan Curl, who explained the extra trials and tribulations his distance squad underwent during camp.

We also get an inside look at a touching aspect of being an Olympian: Cody gets a letter from a young fan who drove to Arizona to see him.

Check out the full vlog:

Cody’s videos capture the “swimmer’s lifestyle” of workouts, eating big meals, naps, and hanging with your teammates.

Swimming does take up a large majority of your time and energy, especially if you train for a coach like Bowman, who likes to “grind” as Cody put it.

Unrelated question, coming from the Swimswam video that was posted about the breastroke group at IU. What’s the fastest 50/100 breastroke kick you have ever done in SCM? What was your time for a 50/100 breastroke at the time? And also, do you guys think it’s faster to breastroke kick on your back or with a board?
