Cody Miller released a new vlog this morning on his YouTube channel after a month-long hiatus. Miller’s post should come as a relief to the readers who have emailed us asking if Cody was okay. In the video, Cody gives us a brief view of the baby room he’s putting together, then takes us out to his backyard. First, Cody shows off a very large new deck which he built himself, including a concrete foundation he poured himself.
After that, Cody gets to the main feature of the episode, which is an awesome-looking “Cody Miller” branded Endless Pool. Cody says he helped put the pool together over the course of about 3 days, and that he’s been training in it for a few weeks now. He shows off many of the features of the pool, noting that it can be used for virtually any type of swimming training. Cody also explains that the pool has been a blessing for him, because it’s provided him with the only permanent training option since COVID-19 hit the States in full force back in March.
Miller says that a lot of swimmers, even Olympic-caliber swimmers, are still having a tough time with finding consistent training options.
You can see ENDLESS POOLS here.
How hot does this pool get? Just wondering how much use this will be come October.
1,000,000 really that price tag?
I thought he said he was broke after missing the National team
That pool he’s training in is probably $40-$50K all in after install.
Cody is sponsored by EP meaning it was a “gift.” His pool is an elite model- fastest you can get. I’d imagine it’s getting a lot of use these days from the IU pro group. With install, you’re looking at around 70 to 80k. It’s a machine first and a pool second. It definitely does not let you cheat as it’s literally the ultimate tempo trainer. Glad he’s enjoying it.
No way it’s that expensive unless you live in Beverly Hills
It is.
This video made my respect for Cody Miller increase enormously. This dude has developed real-world practical skills: carpentry, concrete-pouring, plumbing, assembly of complex-machinery.
Note to Cody: based on my Endless Pools experience, one reason 1:10/100yd pace is more difficult in an EP is that there are no turns—it’s all swimming. You don’t get a break every 17 seconds to push off. Indeed there’s prolly only 70 yards (at most) of swimming in a regular pool.
flat-out..inspiring, fantastic Olympic Energy-!
Cody Miller needs to unveil his plan after he misses making the Olympic team.
Why are you hating on him?? He’s one of the most outgoing and positive representatives of swimming and is facing one of the hardest obstacles of his career. Chill for a second and don’t add to the negativity that is already in the world.
People treat a most likely unintentional extra dolphin kick as a doping violation
Cheating — violating the official rules — is cheating. You can be “unintentional” up to a point, but he’s been DQ’d so many times for it, it’s hard to make that argument. After he DQ’d the relay at PanAms, I thought it had finally got his (and Ray Looze’s — who also had the one-hand touch Lily King DQ at Worlds) attention. We’ll see. He saw Katijima beat Hansen with it, then Van den Burgh get away with it for gold, so why not try it with one leg EVERY stroke? I like the guy for all the reasons stated, but he doesn’t get that Olympic bronze, be on the gold medal relay, or have his sponsored VLOG if he… Read more »
“Intentional” dolphin kick. He’s been doing it since college. He clearly has chosen not to follow the rules so he’s a cheater.
Really uncalled for and unsportsmanlike to say something so unnecessary. There is enough stress caused by this pandemic and Cody is killing it in the water after trying to battle finding pool time, problem solved now. Who knows if there will even be an Olympics next year, but last time I checked, he has the Olympic Rings tattoo on his bicep. Do you?
Don’t pull the “do you?” thing. That would disqualify nearly everyone on these boards from commenting.
I hate to tell you, but only 26 men and women earn the right to make that team each quad. So are you going to ask that same question, what’s he going to do when he fails to make the team is just mean. Most likely he will retire, but I do see bright things in his future outside the pool, ie. baby on the way, he seems very handy building a deck and he is very personable/marketable….possible sports broadcasting future? Plus, he seems to be a whiz on social media platforms, he will find a career outside the pool.
Let’s all hope we even get OT next summer or that would be devastating for all the pros pushing through… Read more »
One has to remember, regardless of what you think of him, he’s in the conversation and has a shot. The other 99.9% of us would love to have that level of talent.
Exactly! True role model to emulate and infectious positive attitude! I personally trained by myself for OT, it is a mental struggle to stay motivated with your head in the game. To be doing that with NO meets, plus dealing with pool space issue….he’s earned my respect!
Didn’t he go a 59 low precovid? Your not right.
No walls will be good for his LCM
*endless dolphin kicks
I like Cody, but there’s no reason you can’t make fun of someone from time to time. My club has a drill/meme called the “Cody Miller Pullouts” when you dolphin kick to 15m then start your pullout during breaststroke.
That’s brutal aha. Love Cody as well though!
…if it were only “from time to time.”
So glad to see Cody’s vlogs back up and running and to see his pool. So cool.
Nice little pool to have in the backyard. Would like to train in one someday to see how it compares.
