One element in our new kitchen that always makes us smile is the etsy print that we purchased by Samantha French.

Yes! I am a swimmer! I swam in high school and some of college. 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke!
kris says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! You can’t keep me out of the water!
Kristen says
Lets go swimming! With two toddlers I spend most of my time at the pool trying to keep them from falling in!
Laura says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” I love the lake! The pool? Not so much as I always get a cold after swimming at the pool.
Ashley says
Let’s go swimming! I love being able to jump in the pool if it’s hot out but the awkwardness of having to get out of them using a side ladder just makes me cringe… that and having to forget that little kids pee in them… :-)
holly young says
Let’s go swimming, I can’t wait for the summer to arrive so I can take my kids out.
Tif says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m not the best swimmer, but my kids sure do think I am. Gotta love that!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m a total fish… I was a lifeguard all through highschool and college and now try to put in a few laps a week at least!
Sarah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
well, or let’s not – despite being an Aquarius (which ironically is an airy sign), I can’t really seem to get to like the pools a lot. Or so I thought, until I entered the thermal baths in Budapest! They were so stunning and incredibly relaxing and really helped my stressed German soul unwind. So if you ever get the chance to go to Hungary, don’t miss out! For now (being back home), I could well settle with looking at some beautiful paintings instead of going swimming!
Love from Berlin, Germany

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I can’t wait for the next camping trip so I can get back in the water. Bring it on, summer!
Michelle (aka mybelle101) says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I absolutely love the water…I grew up as a competitive swimmer (12 years!), was a lifeguard, a swim instructor, and was even an instructor-trainer. That’s a big part of the reason why I *love* her Etsy shop. I feel such a connection to Samantha’s paintings. Thanks for the chance to win!
SalBug says
The best shape I have ever been in was when I swam laps every day, working up to a solid hour. I never did estimate the distance, just knew I had an hour in which to do it. I really should get back to that!
MegW says
Let’s go swimming! I love the water — pool, lake or bathtub!
Tracey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!! I love swimming! I’m greatful my parents had me in lessons starting young! I will definitely pass that along to my future offspring!
Noora says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Yey! An international give away! :) I do love swimming, especially in the summer in lakes. I remember my mom telling me that when I was a kid, she couldn’t get me out of the water. Now my boyfriend says the same thing.
Nichole says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Water is definitely my friend. Wish I could make it to the lake more often. Maybe I’ll make that a goal for this summer!
Petra says
LET’s Go SWIMMING! :-) I am a swimmer, and have been ever since I can remember. My parents were competition swimmers in college and also swim instructors, so you could say it’s in my blood. ;-)
Abbe says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m a casual swimmer… i could certainly swim to save my life and enjoy the water, but don’t have mastery over any “real” strokes and don’t swim laps for fun. :)
Sheila says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I used to swim a couple miles up the St. Croix river every morning, even though my family thought I was crazy. (I also snuck to go to the pool when I had mono, but don’t tell them that part)
Jessie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I love the water! I worked at Lake Powell (a majestic place in Arizona) as a boat instructor…and let me tell you, it was a dream job!!
Meredith says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love the water, just not the swimming part.

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’ve been swimming almost as long as I’ve been walking. I can’t wait for the pool to open this summer
Danielle says
Let’s go swimming!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Please? I could really use the warm weather! I’m not a swimmer, but I would like to be. It is such a healthy and fun way to exercise!
Anne says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m more of a lake swimmer, rather than pools or the ocean. Can’t wait for summer road trips with many lake swimming stops along the way.
Sally says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! We bought a house with a pool – which is great – but the not-so-subtle hints requesting an invitation to swim make me uncomfortable! Love those prints!

LETS GO SWIMMING! The pool has always been my home!
Jamie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING
I love swimming
Nicole says
Let’s go swimming!! I love the water!
