He is a 2011 graduate of Neuqua Valley High School and currently attends the University of Arizona, where is he majoring in physiology. Cordes is the 2013 and 2014 National Collegiate Athletic Association Swimmer of the Year. At the 2012 United States Olympic Trials, the qualifying meet for the 2012 Olympics, Cordes missed the Olympic team by finishing third in the 100-meter breaststroke (1:0058) and twelfth in the 200-meter breaststroke (2:1326). In the individual 100-meter breaststroke, Cordes placed third with a time of 57.83. At the 2013 United States National Championships, Cordes qualified to swim in three individual events, the 50-, 100- and 200-meter breaststroke, and the 4脳100-meter medley relay at the 2013 World Aquatics Championships. At the National Championships, he was first in the 100- and 200-meter breaststroke, and finished second behind University Of Arizona teammate Kevin Steel in the 50-meter breaststroke. At the 2013 World Aquatics Championships, Cordes competed in three individual events and the 4x100-meter medley relay. In his first event, the 100-meter breaststroke, Cordes got a personal best time of 59.78 in the semifinal. In the finals however, he faded away and touched 7th with a time of 1:00.02. In the 50-meter breaststroke, Cordes did not advance past the prelims, posting a time of 27.69 and finishing 21st overall. In his final individual event, the 200-meter breaststroke, Cordes did not advance past the semifinals, finishing with a time of 2:10.03. In the 4x100-meter medley relay, Cordes, as the breaststroke leg, was responsible for disqualifying the United States by diving 0.04 of a second early. Swimming the breaststroke leg, Cordes recorded a split of 58.64. In the 100-meter breaststroke, Cordes was disqualified for taking off his goggles midway through the race after they filled with water. In the 200-meter breaststroke, Cordes scratched from the final after posting a time of 2:10.01 in the heats in order to concentrate on the medley relay.
