Let’s go swimming!
I love the water!
Lauren says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’ve always been a water person, but lately it’s more of float in a raft than swim laps.
Katie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to swim! I am currently training for my first triathalon, so it’s time to hit the pool again!
Jeni says
LET”S GO SWIMMING!! I LOVE the water. Was a lifeguard when I was younger, but now prefer to float and splash.
AnnieM says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to sit by the pool and dip my feet in. I jump in when the temps get above 85 (pool and air!)
abbasmommy says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” I love swimming! Especially in cold Ontario Lakes in the summer, there is nothing that refreshes me more. (I’m a canadian gal that loves the outdoors!)
Amanda says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I was a swimmer throughout high school and I loved it. I would love these prints for my home. I think they would remind me daily of my awesome swim memories.
fivestones says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Definitely prefer lounging by the pool and then jumping right in when it gets too hot!
Kristal says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming…but I’m not very good at it. I tend to usually doggy paddle or swim under water…or just float. I could go to the beach or pool all day but unfortunately I have a very ADD boyfriend who cant sit still for 5 minutes so I usually get about an hour tops before I have to pack it in.
Kris says
LET”S GO SWIMMING! Ugh, I want to be a swimmer. I just don’t know how to actually swim-swim, like for exercise. I only know how to keep from drowning! I would love to learn!
Em says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Love to swim — always have!!
Kellie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim. My parents joke that I was born with gills.
caroline says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
with plenty of sun lotion and hats and glasses… my English skin does not like the sun much, but my hair gets highlights within a day or two, so it’s always hard to decide what look to go for!
Amy T says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I do love swimming and it has probably been too long since i have been in the pool. Definitely looking forward to the summer.
dee heintz says
let’s go swimming – at the beach!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!

LETS GO SWIMMING!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! :) I am not exactly a swimmer, but I love to lounge around a pool or the beach. I hop in when I get too hot.
Karma says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
I’m definitely a swimmer, I was the swim team captain in high school. I still love to swim but I don’t get much time to do it and summer has just ended in Australia so I’ll be stuck with indoor pools for the next 8 months or so
emma says
LETS GO SWIMMING!
Nothing better than jumping in the water on a hot day!
Courtney says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Swim team for a year in middle school. Never won a race.
Katie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I enjoy swimming, but usually just float around on my back. This summer I’m going to be in my first triathalon so I need to start swimming laps!
Bethany says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I grew up with a manmade lake nearby, so I have fond memories of careening off the banks of the lake on a rope swing and dropping down into the dark water on hot summer days. My husband never learned how to swim, so I’ve been trying to teach him at the beach. Poor thing sinks like a rock, but until he learns, I have a great excuse to go back to the beach again and again!
Liz says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!! We love to swim! We had a pool in our backyard growing up and I miss that now! When we lived in Texas we swam almost every day during the summer. I love your painting, I have thought several times that I needed to look up the artist, just so happily beautiful! Thank you!

Katy Schiele says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming again, after a long dry spell, because our 14 mo. old girl is such a water baby. Give that girl a puddle and she is thrilled!
Leigh says

Living at the beach all year long we are inthe water swimming ALL the time!!!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m less of a swimmer and more of a ‘thrash around the pool’-er.

First off, let me say that every since you posted about Samantha French, I have visited her Etsy store several times. I love love love all her summery paintings, and would definitely love to see one hanging in our house.
