LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love water, be it the ocean or a pool! I do my 30 laps on a sporty day and then just float when I feel lazy.
Courtney F. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I like to swim, but mostly that involves a lot of lazy floating these days. The way I used to swim when I was a kid (very hard, with lots of underwater breath-holding) gives me a splitting headache, which is a shame, because I miss being able to swim like a fish for hours on end.
Zohreh Daly says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I was swimming 3-4 times a week at the Y until I got horrible morning sickness! :-( I am 30 weeks along now and too weird shaped/out of shape to swim comfortably. I hope to return real soon!
AshleyGeeS says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! My husband’s practically a fish, but I prefer lounging around on a floating raft with a cold cocktail.
I love Samantha French’s work! She came to an arts festival in my city and I just love her pool pieces.
KB says
LET’S GO SWIMMING … once I lose 10 (or 40) pounds and put on some self-tanner …
GeNae says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I love eating then swimming (Don’t tell my mom!) It’s so nice to just lounge around with a full tummy. Sippin’ my Cherry Limeade on the side. Or water. Whichever I have around, trying to keep the dogs from drinkin’ my drink.
Kristinah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! That sentence is in the chorus of one of my favorite pre-k songs. You guys should check out Carole Peterson, or her band “macaroni soup” for clara. The little fish song is super fun it’s cute to watch the 3-5 year olds in my class act it out! I like to swim, but I wish I could figure out a way to listen to my ipod while I do it!
Pam August says

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I do LOVE the water… but I’ve never been a great swimmer. I love the idea of swimming more than the reality! Perhaps one of Samantha’s gorgeous prints would inspire me!

Nicci D says
Although I have a love-hate relationship with large bodies of water, I can’t help but be mesmerized by it… Now that my daughter is two and swim lessons are on the horizon… I can’t wait to hear her little voice say ‘mommy, LETS GO SWIMMING’.
Heather says
Lets go swimming! I love the water as long at it’s the ocean!!!
Amy Martell says
Let’s Go Swimming! I like swimming in pools over lakes, even though I’m from Minnesota and that’s sacrilege here. However, my very favorite is ‘swimming’ (relaxing) in a Jacuzzi overlooking an ocean with a strawberry daiquiri in hand on vacation. Ahhhhh….
Fiona says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

Danielle grobmyer says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I am a swimmer! Well retired now but recently moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky where I coach both the mens and women’s swim team at Western Kentucky University. I love these prints and have seen them before but can’t remember if it was on your blog or on etsy itself. I am in the process of decorating my new apartment and would love to add one of Samantha’s paintings to my collection (to note..i was an art history grad student prior to becoming a swim coach-odd background I know).

I washed my dog yesterday. That’s sorta like swimming, right?

Let’s Go Swimming!!
I’m not the biggest fan of the water, but my wife would stay in the pool all day every day if she could. Still cold here and my wife is already in the pool 3 days a week.
Katie says
