let’s go swimming! i love to swim, especially at night. i am less enamored with bathing suits, however.
Dan says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! (Or maybe not). Since I probably would drown having never learned how to stay afloat. The pool was broken my freshman year of high school so I didn’t have to partake in any swim lessons; I avoid large bodies of water now as they make my heart palpitate.
Tammy O says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m not much of a swimmer, but I love the beach and I love being near the water. NEAR the water, not IN the water. :-)

Liv says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love hanging out in the water but am a total dork at swimming laps! When I took lessons as I kid I spent all my free-time floating (not swimming!), so I guess it’s not surprise.
Amy Day says
LETS GO SWIMMING

LET’S GO SWIMMING!

max in canada says
Lets go swimming! I love swimming laps for a body-awakening workout!
Amanda @ willful/joyful says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m not really much of a swimmer, but my grandma is. These paintings make me think of her so much! She taught swimming lessons and water aerobics into her late 70s. I took one of her aerobics classes for people with arthritis and was EXHAUSTED!
Valery says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! But just lounge pool side because I can barely doggie paddle. And, because I’m short (4’11”), pools tend to be a little too deep for frolicking.
Hillary says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I was a lifeguard for years but am scared of drowning!
Julie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming, especially in a lake or the ocean. We don’t live anywhere near water and it’s also snowing here at the moment so I haven’t been swimming in a long, long time.
Lindsay says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

Let’s go swimming!
I loved swimming (and Disney’s The Little Mermaid) so much that when I was in kindergarten I made everyone call me Mermaid, and wouldn’t respond otherwise!
Nikkidd says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I remember spending hours and hours at the pool as a child with my brother. It was awesome, and
I’m looking forward to hanging out at my parents new pool (they just moved to Texas) in May. Would love one of these prints for our bedroom -we have a beach theme, so people swimming fits right in!
Kristi Prather says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I learned to swim laps a few years ago and swim at the YMCA for fun and exercise whenever I can. The bottom of the pool has a way of washing stress away. I’ve been really slack lately and would love one of these lovely prints to inspire me.

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming. In my late 20s I used to swim laps as exercise, although I fell out of the habit when I moved to attend grad school and getting to the university pool wasn’t easy. Nowadays I just float around in the pool, maybe do a few backstrokes. Water is so soothing.
