Personal life
Cody Miller was born January 9, 1992 in Billings, Montana. He attended Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. Miller then swam at Indiana University under head coach Ray Looze. When Miller qualified for the U.S. Olympic team in 2016, he was the first swimmer from Indiana University to make the U.S. Olympic team in 40 years.
Miller has pectus excavatum, a deformity of the thoracic wall which causes the chest to cave in due to the sternum and rib cage growing abnormally. In Miller's particular case, his deformity is severe enough to cause limitations to his lung capacity. As a result of having the deformity, he started swimming at age eight "to monitor [his] heart and breathing". Miller opted not to have surgery to correct the deformity, and swimming helped broaden his chest and develop his rib cage. He married his fiancée Ali DeWitt on September 9, 2017.
Miller has a younger sister, Catie, who swims for Duke University and is also a breaststroke/IM swimmer. Cody Miller became engaged to Ali DeWitt on November 22, 2015 at the Golden Goggle Awards.
Miller is a self professed film-buff.
