Let’s go swimming! It’s had a huge impact on my life. I swam competitively from age 7 to 20 and worked as a lifeguard through university. I was lucky enough to grow up with a pool in our backyard (even though in Canada it was only open 4 months or less) and it’s still my favourite thing to do to keep myself sane. I don’t think of anything else when I swim, it’s stress free. :)
Jen says
Let’s go swimming! I am an Aquarius and a complete water baby; I grew up spending summer days in pools, lakes, oceans, rivers, streams, creeks, you name it. It was bliss!

Angie says
Let’s go swimming!
Swim team, life guarding and water polo were my bread and butter as a kid. Now I love to swim butterfly in open water.

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming in the pool! Good thing because I live in Texas and summer is my favorite season of the year.
Carolyn says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I LOVE everything and anything that has to do with water. Grew up swimming all summer long and wish I could do it more now as an adult.
Rebecca says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I was on the swim team in high school, but now I prefer to enjoy the water in a more leisurely way. Floating on rafts or going for a quick dip is my preferred way to cool off on a warm summer day.
Jackie says
Lets go swimming! I grew up with a pool in my backyard and we used it practically everyday! Funny part is I really don’t know how to swim! I simply keep myself floating! So far so good!
Catherine says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love being in the water. My children (5&3)do too! We are weekly swimmers in the natural springs in our areas. I love being surrounded by ‘real’ bodies old an young, soaking up the summer sun.
Claire Taulbee says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

My nickname was “water dog” as a kid! :)
Jessica F. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

Nikki T says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’ve always loved the water, but my swimming skills get worse as I get older. I’m looking forward to getting back into the pool next week to start a water bootcamp class!

I love the smell of sunscreen and the sound of children playing at the pool in the summertime.
Ariane says
LET’S GO SWIMMING ! I love it and I need it (since I got a broken vertebra after a horse fall) in order to strengthen my back and “belt”. I should put my bathing suit back on though, I haven’t gotten wet for a while …
Elaine K says

I love water. When I was pregnant last summer, we would go to the public outdoor pool and bean would kick like crazy from inside.
Chad says

Jess Dixon says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I love the water! I was born and raised in Victoria BC and we lived right on the shore…you could sometimes see killer whales breaching in the sound, and in the winters we’d get sea lion “infestations”. They bark 24 HOURS A DAY and you can’t exactly call the city to complain, lol.
Sheena says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
Love swimming…floating, treading, diving, jumping, underwater handstands (now there’s something to make you feel good about yourself)
Heather says
Let’s go swimming!! I can get from one end of a pool to the other, but it ain’t pretty and it ain’t graceful. Someday I want to learn for good and do a triathlon!
Abby says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I am not a huge fan of swimming. Although, laying out by the pool/beach with a cold drink in my hand is my idea of a perfect day!

Ali says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love your print and would so enjoy having one on my own wall!
Emily J says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m a synchronized swimmer! Hair in tight buns, sequined swimsuits, the whole shebang :)

Growing up, I considered myself a fish.
Now, I’m chasing my toddler in the water.
Kiki says
