LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m going tomorrow with some friends. Spring arrived here in Cologne and we can’t wait to put on our swimsuits and try the first laps in the sun.
Sandra says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I think I prefer a canoe or floating in an inner tube.
Shauna says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I used to be on the swim team in middle school & high school, but I actually hate getting wet so I wouldn’t say that I enjoyed it…
Sarah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Swimming is the best summer exercise and sometimes the ONLY way to cool off in Houston.
Alli says
Let’s go swimming!
I’m not much of a swimmer but I really want to win this to give to a close friend who was a competitive swimmer in high school and now uses swimming to help her get through a difficult time in her life :)
Katie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Although I have to be careful because I am a hair short of albino and no matter how much sunscreen I seem to put on I always end up like a tomato.
Julie H. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I love swimming and can’t wait for the summer to get here to get my swim on!
Cheryl says
LETS GO SWIMMING!! I love to swim in pools, water with other living things freaks me out!
Robin says
Lets Go Swimming!
I love the water, ocean, lake, hot tub, bath tub, river, waterfall, you name it. I love to hear it rain, dance, trickle, splash, crashing waves, soothing droplets, sprinkler motions and even kitchen sink sudsy splashes. Water smeels define life moments too, green mountain river scent, salty brine wharf bike rides, clean crisp breezy lake life in the fall, baby oil scented baths, iron tinged front yard hose water. Oh glorious water!
Sarah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming. We moved in June and our yard is big enough for a pool but totally not worth it living in Canada. We do have a cabin on a lake so I’m not that sad.
Jasmine says
Let’s Go Swimming!
Water and I are NOT friends. But I’m going to have to learn to get along.. My daughter is already a fish at just 4 months old… We put her in the tub on a foam bath pad and she splashes so much I am soaked-waist up-by the time we are finished!
Jenn says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I loved swimming as a kid and can’t wait to get back into it as an adult – great exercise!
TERI MISSILDINE says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I LIKE A GOOD SWIM AT DAWN, A QUICK RUN, THEN ANOTHER PRE-SHOWER SWIM TO START MY DAY.

LET’S GO SWIMMING!! So ready to relax by the pool this summer!

LET’S GO SWIMMING… like I used to do every single day during every single summer growing up at my aunt’s house … which these pictures remind me of :)

melissa says
Let’s Go Swimming!! Love the water, taught swimming lessons all through high school and college. Although, now I live in CA and never swim in the ocean, something about how dirty I feel like it is!!
Eliana says
Let’s Go Swimming!
I swam all through high school, this year completed my first marathon and now I am “diving into” my first triathalon… so I will be hitting the pool again, like old times. :) looking forward to it.
Amy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Megan Munro says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I used to be on the school and provincial teams and I still go swimming (just not three times a day!). Anything stressful just fades away when watching my shadow move beneath me as the light bounces off the bottom making beautiful patterns.
keri says
Lets go swimming!!Or better yet you swim I watch!!
Megan S. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to swim but don’t so much as I’m a bit swimsuit shy :)
Lauren says
Let’s go swimming!
I’d love to win this – I did swim all growing up and even for a Division 1 swim team in college! :) So this print would mean a lot to me. :)
Bria says
Let’s go swimming! I was on the swim team for a little while in junior high and high school, so I’m a water lover. I still love to swim, but rarely get the chance!

I love the water! Best workout ever too!!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I just went for my first athletic swim in like 10 years. It was hard. I prefer to play in the waves at the beach. I’m a pretty lame swimmer, but it’s great exercise!
Valerie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to swim, though it’s been a long time since I’ve spent quality time in a pool (we have two young kiddos), so I dream about it more than I do it.
Brittany says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming but rarely do it. Growing up my favorite thing was to pretend I was a dolphin or a mermaid at my grandma’s pool!
Julia says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
Ooh! I have been eyeing the pic of the two girls / women in the pool. It reminds me of when my sisters and I were girls and spent hours in the pool, diving down…
Janet says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!’

Shannon says
Let’s go swimming! I love swimming…in heated swimming pools!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I grew up on an island in the Mediterranean, where the sea is a part of life. When I was a child, I wasn’t afraid of anything, but now, I have to admit, I never swim far.. :)
Ali says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I like pretending I’m a sea lion or a sting ray when I’m not swimming laps, water is fun!

Andy B says
Let’s go swimming. I prefer the lazy floating with a margarita in hand version of “swimming”.
Brooke says
LETS GO SWIMMING!
I love the water and have always enjoyed hanging out in the pool/ocean/lake. Haven’t done laps in awhile, but when I do make it, man does it feel good!
Amy says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I was a competitive swimmer from 5th grade until 12th. I swam for school teams and summer leagues and also was a competitive diver in high school. Needless to say, I LOVE to swim! My favorite is to swim in the ocean though – I prefer my blonde hair to stay blonde, not green!!
Katie Brock says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I have been swimming since I was a baby. I am like a fish! I still love to swim laps at the local Y a few days a week. It really helps to relieve stress and always puts a smile on my face.
Noel says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I was never a competitive swimmer, but it’s a great way to exercise!
Cristin says
Let’s go swimming! I love to swim but don’t get to do it nearly as much as I’d like to!
Allie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I adore swimming – though I hate having to put on a bathing suit. Thank goodness for Target and swim dresses! Bring on summer :)
Kicken Bejos says
LETS GO SWIMMING! Every year I swear that I will take up swimming laps during the winter months then postpone it to the summer when I can do it outside, and then I never get around to it.Oh well! I love taking my little one in the pool though, and hope that he gets better at staying afloat this year.
Corinne A. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I was in the remedial swim class as a kid – it was embarrassing! Now I love to take my toddler to swim lessons…but that’s cause I don’t have to swim myself!
Stacey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Not a huge fan of swimming, but you may find me on the deck reading while sitting in the shade.
