Cody Simpson speaks on uphill Olympic battle

The pop singer-turned-swimmer faces an uphill battle to qualify for the Olympics and prepares to make a decision about his future.

Success is right. After raising eyebrows less than four years ago when he announced he was leaving his glamorous life of a pop star behind to focus on swimming, Simpson has defied the critics in the pool. “I’ve purposefully put a brick wall on either side of it, in that I will address it when it comes,” he said. “But never once in my life have I not known what is next.

“I’ve been a creative person my whole life so it is hard to not continue that output as a writer of songs and other things,” he said, adding that in the little time he has off from the pool he spends it in his home studio on the Gold Coast. “So being able to have an emotional regulation or calm in those circumstances is so important and something I’m still working on.

He then adds: “I’m not necessarily an introvert but I’ve always enjoyed my solitude and being alone. I found that peace in the ocean as a kid and something I think a lot of Australian kids will be able to relate to.”
