Beatrice Chan says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Unfortunately, i get hives after the chlorine in the pool, but i do love being in it!
Laurie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! – totally rad! Reminds me of “learning to swim” in an olympic size pool – we were thrown in the deep end – sink or swim. I can swim!
Annie says
Let’s Go Swimming! I love to swim!
Jessica Mumford says
Let’s go swimming!!! My mother used to call me a fish. Yes, I LOVE the water, especially the ocean.
Chenell Tannure says
Lets go swimming!
I grew up playing in pools. Swimming laps isn’t for me, but I definitely like treading water and hovering in the deep end, and doing hand-stands in the shallow end. We used to play a pool game called spider, where you have to swim in and around another person’s outstretched arms and legs…
Eryn says
Let’s go swimming! If you call being a swimmer only getting your bottom wet then yes. haha I am a blonde and it is not worth the green hair…haha
Maia Bradshaw says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
Samantha French’s art reminds me of hot summer days, practicing hand stands in the shallow end of the pool!! I was always so good at them underwater, never could master the hand stand on land! So, yes… LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!!
Amanda says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! We are fortunate enough to have a pool right outside our French doors and, while I do enjoy an occasional (i.e. weekly dip), my husband is part fish and in the water nearly every day. If we move, we’ll always need a pool or room to put one in!
Devon says
Let’ go swimming! Counting the days until the pool opens!
Amber says
Let’s go swimming!
jane thomas says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I absolutely LOVE the water! Grew up in San Diego, just minutes from the ocean, by bicycle!
Christine says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I can swim, but I have a good friend who is a world-class swimmer and triathlete who I would LOVE to get one of these prints for. *fingers crossed*
Sophie L says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!… or splashing in my case :)
Sheri says
Let’s go swimming!
I am not an avid swimmer now but I was when I was younger. At one point in my childhood I owned 14 bathing suits and they all got used regularly.
Blair says
Let’s go swimming! I love to swim, especially in the ocean.
Charlotte | Living Well on the Cheap says
Let’s go swimming! I love water. Love to look at it, swim in it, drink it, everything. It’s delightful.
Jana Grady says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Reminds me of summer fun for hours a day in my Aunt & Uncle’s huge old fashioned cement inground pool in the late 60’s early 70’s! My Uncle would have to patch and repaint the pool (blue) every spring after our harsh Massachusetts winters!
Kristen says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Swimming laps feels so good . . .

I AM A FISH
PatC says
Let’s go swimming!!
I’m not really into swimming much any more. But I do love walking by the beach or just sitting by the pool with a great book and a nice cool drink.
Macey says
Lets go swimming! I love to swim, well float in the water really! I swam off the coast of Santorini, Greece in September, it was amazing!!

Ericka says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water be it at the beach, lake, river or pool. You name it and I’ll be swimming in it!
Dianne says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING”- I was a water baby when I was younger. Then during my teen years I had a falling out with water (it required me to wear a bathing suit). :) My husband is a fish and my 18 month is fearless in the water.
Vanessa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water but somehow over one summer as a kid, I forgot how to go underwater without holding my nose! Despite now being scuba certified, I still do!
Lindsay says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!!
Water and I are good friends; for splashing around and enjoying its awesomeness. Otherwise I am not a swimmer. Real swimming is tough business. Once a year in field hockey preseason during college we would have a so-called “fun” pool workout. There was usually little actual fun involved, just red-in-the-face lap swimming. Oiy! Ever since then I’ve had an aversion to real swimming. I’ll stick to the casual splashing around aka enjoying a nice iced beverage type of swimming! :)
Gretchen says
I love, love, love the water (and Samantha French’s art) but we live in an area where there aren’t too many pools around. Regardless, I try to go daily to a local gym pool to swim and my kids are in swim lessons so when we do go on vacation somewhere warm, I can shout….
LET”S GO SWIMMING!!
Lamprini says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I can’t wait till summer!It smells like spring out there but the only thing I can think of is summer in a greek island and swimming in the Aegean sea!!!
Mia says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
Ok, I don’t swim, but if I win, I promise to swim everyday…
Beth M. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Swimming reminds me of being a kid on the beach with my family. I’ll cherish those memories as long as I live.
Corinne says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming and being in and on the water. Although its too cold where I live in Australia (yes there are cold places in Australia) to go very often.
Krista says
LETS GO SWIMMING- I love the pool, my kids love the pool, my car smells like pool by the end of the summer….
Thao says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I sink like a rock.
mary says
Let’s go swimming! I was just thinking today that there are three swimming pools in my new town, and I get to try all three this summer!
Laura says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I was a lifeguard for years and also on swim teams for most of my pre-adult life. I love the water, but don’t find myself around pools much anymore because of the chlorine.
Bonnie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim!
Laura says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming, but only in lakes… the ocean is too salty and pools are for waterslides and wave machines!
Becca says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
There’s nowhere I feel more at home than in the pool–I swam competitively as a kiddo, taught lessons during college, and try to get my bum to the pool now to work out as often as I can.
Margo says
Let’s go swimming!! I like laying by the pool and jumping in to cool off!
Robin says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m a waterbaby, as my grammie would say. I used to sit at my front window as a kid and wait for my neighbor to come home so I could go swimming in their pool!
Blair says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I love swimming! Just got a new bathing suit!
