Casey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim; I was a springboard diver in school, and still love to be in/near the water whenever I can!
Liz says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love this artist… and I have loved swimming ever since I was a little girl swimming at the lake, when (city girl alert!) someone told me the lake had eels, and the only eels I knew were the huge murderous ones from The Princess Pride, and I hightailed it out of there like my suit was on fire. In the lake. Which is water.
Ina says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Even though for me, “swimming” mostly means struggling to stay afloat, haha. But I’d still love to have one of Samantha’s amazing prints on my wall! (And I can’t miss the chance to finally take part in your givaways, as I’m from overseas.)
Amy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m a water baby from way back!
I love swimming, floating and snorkelling.
Deb says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to float at the side of the pool after laps, the water going into the gutters is such a calming sound
Lauren says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” I have loved water my entire life! My grandparents used to live on a lake and my cousins and I would go down and spend a month with them together. It was the best time!
Verena says

Let’s go swimming… No matter how hesitant or unkeen you were beforehand, you never regret a swim. Love it!
Rachel says
Let’s go swimming!
I used to do synchronized swimming but now I can barely dive.
Lauren says
LET’S GO SWIMMING…the beach and I are enemies. With a ton of freckles I’m best left to admiring the water from afar, or on my living room wall…
Heather says
People say that I’m a lot like my Grandma, the one I never met. When talking about how much of a fish I am, my great Aunt once told me that my Grandma’s happiest day would be swimming in a dunk tank with her friends and family sitting all around in lawn chairs enjoying each others company…so LET’S GO SWIMMING! (and have a picture hanging in the house to remind me of that connection!)
Crystal says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” My kids and I love at the pool in the summer.

Christy C. says
Let’s go swimming! I’m scared to death to be in water, but living near it (I’m from San Diego), and looking at that calmness are, on the contrary, the most calming things ever.
Kathryn says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I used to do synchronized swimming, of all things, because I wanted to be involved in sports growing up but was always so uncoordinated on land! In the water, however, I was as graceful as I imagined in my head. My experiences were lovely and have contributed to a lifelong love of the water. This would be perfect for my light-on-the-art walls! Love Samantha’s work.
Bethany says
Let’s go swimming! We love the water.
Ellen says
Let’s go swimming! I love to swim but only if I’m wearing my big sun hat and sunscreen!
Paula says
let’s go with swimming
I use the pool mainly for cooling off between sessions of tanning and reading. Very relaxing.

Lauren @ Craft My Life Away says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love love love swimming. I was born a beach girl and currently I am stuck in a lake town, depressing!
Kim says
LET’S GO SWIMMING in the river! My husband’s family owns a house in the country a block away from the river. There’s a ford across at that point, and by sitting just beneath the cement “road” you get a natural jacuzzi! The water coming over the road pummels your back in a lovely manner, getting out all the aches and kinks you might have. WONDERFUL! The water is also so clear that you can be standing in water up to your chest and still be able to see your toes, and the rocks on the river bottom. A favorite place of ours!
Kristin says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I used to swim competitively (until college) and my 15-month-old son has definitely inherited my love for water.

LET’S GO SWIMMING! Our whole family enjoys some form of swimming – my husband is a surfer, the summer is the beginning of swim team for my 2 oldest girls, my almost 4 year old thinks he’s a pirate shark and has been swimming since he was 18 months thanks to ISR lessons, and my 18 month old is in the middle of ISR lessons now preparing for our trip to Curacao in May! I love the great cardio work out I get from swimming laps and the quietness of being under water (I have 4 kids, you know? :)
Emily says

My most favorite water moment was taking a spa day at Asheville, NC’s Grove Park Inn. They have a pool that has relaxing music playing underwater! You feel like an enchanted mermaid!
