LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the water, but I don’t love bathing suits… well i don’t love my body in bathing suits. So, I don’t swim very often, but i love to be near the water.
Melissa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m not much of a swimmer, but my pasty self would rather do that than sunbathe!
Brit says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I was the kid who got in the pool exactly on April first, regardless of temperature or mold. It’s almost April, let’s go swimming!!
Carrie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I have been told I was swimming before I could walk. No space for a pool at the new house but one of these prints would look awesome on the sunporch!
Catherine M says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I grew up in Miami and we have a pool… As kids we were always splashing around int here and having pool parties for our birthdays, these days I’ll take the occasional dip or lay out for a tan.

I think swimming laps is the best workout. I would give pretty much anything to have a lap pool in my backyard so I could wake up and enjoy a few laps each morning.

Rachel says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m a triathlete, so yes, I swim. But I don’t always like it. If the water is cold, I will NOT get in!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! We just got back to Seattle from a vacation that included a trip to Florida…very hectic days of late breakfast followed by sitting poolside/in the water for the rest of the day. Love it!

“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
Love, love the water! As a matter of fact, I am having knee replacement surgery this year and will be doing lots of aqua therapy afterwards. I eventually hope to be able to do laps like when I was (much) younger. It is such a great exercise for those of us with worn out knee joints!
Kim says
Let’s Go Swimming!!!
I do love to splash around in the pool or ocean, though I’m not an expert swimmer by any means. Unfortunately, I usually only get to take a dip once a year on vacation.

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water (I did grow up in the land of 10,000 lakes, after all) and can’t wait for summer to hit so I can enjoy in some of my favorite water activities: kayaking, swimming, and sailing.
These prints are beautiful and would be a great (colorful) addition to any water-loving home :)

LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love the water, very relaxing to float around on a partially inflated raft in the hot sun (wearing lots of sunblock).
Michelle M says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I absolutely love the water, but I’d rather wade or float or snorkel than actually “swim.”

Elle says
The day you posted this awesome piece of art, I went to her shop and immediately ogled several pieces and then forced myself to look away because they were out of my price range. But winning this would certainly help decorate my new home! (Fingers crossed; it’s a short sale. Sigh.)
Sara says
Let’s go swimming! I love the beach and like to play around with the kids but haven’t done “real” swimming in a while.
Sarah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I am most definitely a swimmer…swam competitively in high school, and all my life my mother has called me a little fish because on any vacation, I would spend all day in the water. Would love one of these pictures for my gallery wall.
Taylor says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Just went yesterday, and going again tomorrow. I started swimming on my own at age 2 and have been in love with it ever since. If only I could get a pool in my house…
