Cody Simpson has become a staple in both the music industry and the swimming world. The pop star enjoyed giant success with hits like “La Da Dee” and “Pretty Brown Eyes”. Since his shift to professional swimming in 2019, he has brought the same swagger and charisma to the pool as he does to the stage. However, the biggest swimming event has since eluded him, but that hasn’t dampened his determination.

Cody Simpson, the “love rival” of Australian swimmer Kyle Chalmers, is on a mission to write his name in golden letters in the annals of swimming history. He is in pursuit of the coveted Olympic gold medal and has charted a course to it that ran through the Short-Course Australian Championships. After inspiring hope with two victories and one near miss, the swimmer-cum-singer has hinted at a significant career move.

Simpson informed his 5.1 million Instagram fans that this was his last year in the Short-Course Australian Championships. Wide World of Sport reported on Simpson’s announcement that featured a snap of his medals and the words, “My second and last ever Aussie short-course champs. It’s been real” in the captions.
