Singer Cody Simpson fails to make Australian Olympic swimming team

The Australian Olympic Committee has selected its 41-member swim team to represent them in the pool at the Paris Olympics, and singer Cody Simpson didn't make the cut.

The 27-year-old international pop star put his music career on hold to return to the pool. He said on Saturday that he will return to the entertainment industry after he failed to make the Australian team.

"It's bittersweet," Simpson told reporters after the Olympic trials in Brisbane. "But I did what I could do – and that's all you can do."
