LET’S GO SWIMMING! When I was in middle school my parents put in a pool and I was so thrilled that we actually would come home from school rush through our homework, put on our swimsuits and wait in the deck chairs for our parents to pull in the garage so we could “officially” jump in with parental supervision. With so may toys, we stayed in until we were waterlogged. Now that I live on my own I would love a pool or one of those endless pools…please try to give one of those away =)
Kris says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” I’m definitely a swimmer, although I didnt learn how to until I was about 10 years old.
Heather Corcoran says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! The water is so serene, whether it’s in a pool or in the ocean, you can literally drown out any cares you have once your head goes under water! :)
Meg says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Wonderful times jumping into Pacific Northwest streams and mountain ponds.
Shoshana says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I grew up in the desert without a pool, so swimming isn’t my forte. I love pools though, and I’m learning…slowly…too bad the chlorine makes my hair turn green!

Lets Go Swimming.
I am not really a swimmer – actually I am terrified of drowning but I am an EXCELLENT pool lounger…..
Kitty says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Love the water – to swin, to kayak, to snorkel, to float on or in.
leah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love being poolside with the sun shining and my margarita right next to me as I relax in my chaise lounge chair, the bright blue water of the pool glistening in the sun and inviting me to dive right in – ahhhh – perfect!
Campbell says
LET’S GO SWIMMING – I like swimming a lot, even in a pool it is very meditative.
Claudia says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I prefer to float around but always have to have water nearby. On the other hand, my kids were both competitive swimmers so I am well versed in watching!
Sabrina Riggs says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!I love to swim, but here is a funny story–one camping trip, we were all getting in the lake to cool off. My 6’2 guy friend got in, and then promptly ran out screaming like a girl because some ‘fish’ touched his leg. ROFL!!! We still laugh about it to this day–and no, he hasn’t been back in a lake since!!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love it, but I am so pale that I have to slather on the SPF which is kind of a bummer. But better than skin cancer for sure!

Anita says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Seriously, is it summer yet?!
I taught myself how to swim when I was 17, but I’m a little weird & have a strange fear of sharks getting me when I take bubble baths. Perhaps I’m a tad neurotic.

Let’s go swimming! I enjoy swimming in the Great Lakes that surround us…minus Lake Ontario, not the cleanest.
Courtney says
