Let’s go swimming! I grew up with a pool and was a fish when I was younger. We hope to have a pool at our next house so our kids have the same experience and we want to be the hangout house!
Diana says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the ocean and pools, but am freaked out by rivers and lakes. I think it’s all the slimy stuff at the bottom.
diana says
Let’s Go Swimming! I miss the high dive at our childhood pool. So much fun!
Dre says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim and love to get my tan on!
Andrea says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I lived for summer swim team…6a & 6p practices Mon-Fri. I also worked at the neighborhood pool (concession, lifeguard) from ages 14-20. I lettered in swimming all 4 yrs of high school. YES…I LOVE TO SWIM! However, life got in the way – college, marriage, babies, etc. so for years swimming became just recreation. Impulsively (and at 40!) I signed up to swim 4 events in last year’s Corporate Challenge. Passion renewed!! I’m back on the roster for this year’s competition!! :-)
Kate says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!! I was raised with a pool in my backyard so I like to say that I’m “self taught” meaning I cannot do any formal swim strokes! LOL. I do a lot of “frog strokes”, diving for coins, cannon balls and racing contests. It was a wonderful way to spend the summers as a child.
Melissa says
LET”S GO SWIMMING!
We are lucky to have a neighbor with a pool, so we are looking forward to getting out the floaties this summer.
Jennifer says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love to swim, was lifeguard and swim instructor all through college. Looking forward to warmer days!

LET’S GO SWIMMING….but i’d rather go shopping with the free gift card first ;)
Cara says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to be in the water, but can’t say you’ll find me doing laps anytime soon…
Gina says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I say that every Sunday to my 3year old to take him to his swimming class. He has been in the water since he was 6 months old, and he loves it!
dhivya a says
Lets go swimming!
Ever since a slightly scary james river incident, I’ve not been much of a swimmer. Hope to get back to it soon.
Angie says
Let’s go swimming!
….except I actually don’t love swimming. Instead of floating, I’m a total sinker…total swim lesson fail I was! Love to lounge by the pol though!
Janna says
LET”S GO SWIMMING! Love to swim- hoping for awesome spring break weather next week!

Let’s go swimming – love to swim! Grew up going to our local pool almost every day during the summer.
Madison says
Let’s Go Swimming! I’m more of a sun bather than a swimmer!
Kelly Reber says
LET’S GO SWIMMING…. I love two different scenarios when it comes to swim time – 1.) swimming and splashing around in the pool with my kiddos or 2.) hanging poolside with friends relaxing while sipping sumptuous cocktails :)
Tracy says
Let’s go swimming!
Our family of 5 buys passes to a local waterpark every summer, and probably go an average of 2.5 times per week. It’s a bit much for my, but the kids are fish, so they love it.
Katie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I go to swimming lessons every Saturday with our 20 month old.
Manasa Pasem says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love to lounge by the pool and to splash.

ashley says
LETS GO SWIMMING!
i LOVE swimming! my husband + i met while i was getting scuba certified (he was my instructor) so water always holds a special place in our hearts :)
Jennifer says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I was a lifeguard and swimming teacher as a teenager, and I can say that watching the joy on kids’ faces as they learn how to move in the water is an amazing experience. Most rewarding are the ones who are scared finally putting their faces in the water.
Megan says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming, splashing around or just seating on the beach while the dog splashes around!
Heather says
Let’s go swimming! I love to swim….I can’t wait to take my 1 year old to the pool/beach this year!!!

Allison says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to swim…but mostly in pools. Not so much in the ocean, where I can’t see what’s under there. :)
Kim says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I am a toe-dipper, sit-on-the-edge of a cold pool, kind of a girl. But, I think swimming will take on new meaning this summer as my 2-year old Jack loves a splashing bath time and we can’t to get him into a bigger tub.
Mary says
LET’S GO SWIMMING… at the lake! Can’t wait for Summer, it’s a snow day here on Canada’s east coast!

Let’s go swimming!! I love to swim, but don’t manage to make it to the pool, or lake very often. Maybe this summer!
Mike says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Swim team my whole life.
Meghan, UK says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m a need-to-get-back-into-it swimmer? I bought my first (non-bikini) new costume in about 10 years last week and intend to break it in this week at the local pool. Need to get back on that fitness-track!
Jenn says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!!!
This contest was meant for me! I fell in love with Samantha French’s Etsy shop after you bought the artwork for your kitchen. I’m a former competitive swimmer since age 8, swam DII in college, and just completed my 4th year as a Head Varsity High School Coach! And I’m only a 25 year old female :)
Ty says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Swimming is great. I like it best in a lake type setting.

I love to swim! My big dream to satisfy my inner kid is to eventually have my own backyard pool.
Angie says
Let’s Go Swimming!!!
I love spending the day in the water – it doesn’t matter if it’s a day at the beach, on the lake at my parents cottage, or playing in the pool with my son at the YMCA! (Oh, and I can’t forget the water aerobics classes that I absolutely love!)
Jenn Wiley says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to swim! As soon as I can open the pool here in MD i’ll spend all of my not working time in the pool!
Neely Brown says
Let’s go swimming… I am so excited to have joined a pool for this summer- my little girl (2 years old in May) is going to love playing in the water all summer long- and it just may help my paleness! ;)
Maggie says
Let’s go swimming!! I was never much of a swimmer until I started training for my first triathalon – and let’s just say I didn’t drown in any races after that, but it wasn’t pretty either! :)
jessica says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love the pool, hate the ocean.
