LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I was on the swim team as a child, but as an adult I mostly go in the water to cool off.
Katie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I am totally a water baby! It’s my favorite part of the summer!
Stesse says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I call my refresher swim lessons my “drowning lessons”… I’m good enough to not drown, but I certainly won’t give anyone a good race. I love the water… I’m just not very good in the water!

I like the water but mostly just for splashing, not actually exercising.

Lori says
Let’s go swimming! Although I can’t really swim :-) I wish that I could but have always had a fear due to inner ear issues. Just dipping the toesies for me!
Bernice says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I don’t do much swimming, but my husband just swam the English Channel last year! He’s also preparing to swim the Irish Channel this year – the man likes a challenge…!!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming, but I’m not nearly as good at is as I’d like to be.

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love lounging and soaking up the sun interspersed with a jump in the water!
leah says
Lets go swimming! I used to love swimming when I was a kid… my grandma called me a mermaid! I don’t have as much time for it now that I have kids, but in the summer we do go at least once per week.
Christine says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Um I LOVE the pool and the beach, but mainly to lay out around and relax in. I’m not a big swimmer and look very uncoordinated trying to do lap.
Ames says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

We live near Va Beach, so we are all about the water (especially in the summer)! Yay for the beach and summertime!!!
Bri says
Lets go swimming! I was practically a fish when I was a kid. We had a pool (not one of the fancy ones, one of the above ground ones) and I was in there every day. Now I’m stuck in a cube all day, but I still love the water.
Mara says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’ve been swimming since my first lessons as an infant (maybe Clara can relate?)! I swam on a team in high school, and most recently worked out with a Masters swim club (I highly recommend finding a club in your area). I would love love love to hang one of these prints in my home. Also, it’d be like a little wedding present to my soon-to-be-wed self!
karen says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
Yes, I LOVE the water!!! Unfortunatly, I refuse to wear a bathing suit in public! Dear Husband takes the kiddos…he has no shame bone!
Carla says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
My favourite swimming adventure is defintely snorkling in Hawaii where you can walk in from the shore (as opposed to being dropped off in the middle of the Carribean).
Laurie says

I love the water and used to be on the swim team!!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’ve been swimming since I was a little kid – love it!
Lydia says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water! I’m fortunate to live in a community with a pool and have a gorgeous south Florida beach 10 minutes from my house. I’m spoiled and only get in the ocean water in south Florida, during the summer…too cold otherwise! I was hugely pregnant last summer but am looking forward to spending all summer at the beach with my baby (and husband :))!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m more of a floater than a full of swimmer.
Lani says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!”
i LOVES me some water! Except the ocean…I’m so much more of a pool girl. I feel like because I’m small framed the ocean just takes out it’s aggression on me and knocks me around!

Let’s go swimming! Swimming laps is my favorite form of exercise, in my younger years I could swim a mile in thirty minutes!

Let’s Go Swimming!
Alas, no I can only do the doggy paddle.

I absolutely LOVE the water! And it looks like my daughter is going to be the same way. She is only 18 months old so last summer she didn’t do much “swimming” but I’m hoping to teach her a little bit this summer. :)
Jocelyne says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I used to be an avid swimmer and some days really miss it. The freedom that I used to experience in the water was unmatched by other activities.
Melissa says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” Some of my fondest childhood memories are pool parties at Grandma’s with all of my cousins!
Stephanie B. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water, but I’d rather be on the river or lake behind a speedboat than in a pool. My 5-year-old daughter is holding her breath until June, when the pool and waterslide near my parents’ house will open.
Also, I have one of Ms. French’s prints already pinned on my Artwork board – I saw the print in your kitchen, and went looking for the artist and fell in love!
Jen says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’ve always loved to swim and still love to go with my 3 boys.

Suzannah says
Let’s go swimming! I love lounging in my daughters kiddie pool!
Nancy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! We have a family full of waterbabies (old and young). Just opened the pool yesterday in anticipation of swimming by Mother’s day (which is not usually heard of in Michigan). Hoping for the warm days we’ve had to return.

LET’S GO SWIMMING! So very relaxing
