LET’S GO SWIMMING! I sit by the pool in the sun until I’m too warm. Then I get in a wade around a bit until I’m ready to go bake again. :)
Jennifer W says
Let’s Go Swimming! I like swimming best when there aren’t many people around…my technique is unique at best!
Derrick says
Let’s go swimming!
Never been much of a swimmer, but lounging in the pool to cool off on a hot summer day sounds divine!
Lacey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I swam every single day of summer when I was a kid (from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. at the local pool) and very often as a teenager at the beach and the lake. In college I also swam every evening to destress (my husband was being deployed to Iraq) and I loved it. I don’t swim much now, but I have taken my toddler to swimming lessons and hope to start swimming again.
Wendy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love swimming at the lake and tubing down the river.
Ashley Watson says
LETS GO SWIMMING!! i love to swim.. i was on the swim team and high school and we have a pool at our house.. i love it!
Emily says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m already planning my summer camping trips on the beach so I can swim for days! I usually can’t wait for summer, so I have to sneak in a few polar bear swims. Pool, ocean, lake, river, creek… Give me water, and I’m in it.
Chelsea says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I enjoy swimming, but these days, it’s more fun to watch my little girl splash around in the pool!
Nancy E says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” I love taking my kids to the indoor swimming pool at the high school late on Friday nights!
Sheryl J says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m a self taught non-drowner. Can’t say I can swim cause my “swimming” technique is the most inefficient I have ever seen. I get tired in about 2 minutes :D
Athena says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I like to do a few laps to start, but prefer to lounge around in the pool (when we have access to one). The most fun thing is to watch my 3yr old jump in hundreds of times(and look shocked every time). He’s so much fun!
Bekki says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water and can’t wait until it’s pool season!
Laura D says
LET’S GO SWIMMING…I love to swim! This art is awesome!
Jess says
Let’s Go Swimming!
I was born and raised in Florida, so I spent as much time as I could in the water. Since I moved away it never feels hot enough to go for a swim (last July would be the exception, ha!).
Katy says
Let’s go swimming! My favorite thing to do in the water is close my eyes and float on my back. So peaceful. But I’d love to take an adult swimming class to learn how to swim better. I never had lessons as a kid do my technique could use some work :)
DeniseC says
LET’S GO SWIMMING….I love pools! I am an HR director for lifeguards so swimming is my life!
Abby says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” I love swimming, although I’m from the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” (Minnesota) so I’ve probably swam in more lakes in my life than pools.
Nikki says
Let’s Go Swimming!
I was just on the Oregon Coast where it was far too cold for swimming :) Luckily the hotel had a pool because I’m a little fish!
Ashley says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
I don’t make much of a point to get in the water during the year, but when summer hits you can hardly drag me away from the lake. Love this gorgeous art – So vibrant and evokes all kinds of good, watery feelings. :)
Jess says
Let’s go swimming! We live at the pool in the summer, watching our 8-year-old and 5-year-old go crazy off the diving board and trying to convey to the baby that, much as he would like to, he can’t actually swim yet!
Laura says
Let’s go swimming! I can barely float and technically live on an island… LOL. The kids are going to start swimming lessons soon though. I can’t wait to see them take off like little fish!
Erin says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!! Love the water. Not a big swimmer but love to be by water or float in it. Especially now that I am 7 months pregnant!!!
Ashley T says
LETS GO SWIMMING!!! Love those pics!
Teresa A says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! ….as long as my hair doesn’t get wet, ha ha!
Laura says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I am a water baby! I plan to spend all summer at the pool! And I am so glad you posted where you got the picture in your kitchen from-I had been wondering because I love it!
Sarah says
LET”s go Swimming: i was going to buy one of these beauties…I hope I win!
Erin says
LET’s GO SWIMMING! I’m an adult who doesn’t know how to swim–taking lessons this summer so I can swim with my 2 year old girl!
jordan says
Let’s go swimming!
The pool is one of my favorite places!
Kelsey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I used to live a mile from the beach and swimming was my daily meditation. Now I live in a city, in a land-locked state and I try to take a dip as often as I can!
Short, Sweet Season says
Let’s go swimming! I love swimming in CLEAR water but the murky stuff freaks me out. I don’t like it when I can’t see my feet in the water!
Alexis Rojas says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I love to swim, be in the water, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors!
joyce says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!! A day on or by the water just doesn’t get any better!
Christine says
Love the pool–no seaweed, crabs, or fish–just clear blue water!
cassie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!! I love anything to do with water. Can’t wait for it to warm up enough to go to the lake :)
Robyn says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Oddly when I’m in the pool I just float on top and can never swim down to the bottom no matter how hard I try. My husband is the opposite and sinks immediately if not paddling madly!
Felicia says
LET”S GO SWIMMING! I love jumping in the pool on a hot day and just relaxing! Sometimes I’ve even gotten into swimming races with my brother and sisters, which makes it pretty fun!
Who doesn’t love lounging in a pool with a noodle? LOVE. :)
Matthew says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” I swam in high school and college and now work it into my regular exercise routine.
schmei says
Let’s go swimming! I love to swim and I can’t wait to take our baby to “Aqua Tots” class this summer!
SarahW says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming if the water is warm!

LET’S GO SWIMMING
i am a swimmer !
Mary says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
Swim team in high school – oh the days of over-chlorinated, super-shiny hair. I hadn’t done laps for years, just floated on a raft or snoozed in a lawn chair. Joined a gym and wandered past the pool daily, wondering if I could still swim a mile. I finally gave in to the temptation and took the plunge (pun intended). Oh so wonderful that weightless, drifting feeling. No, couldn’t do a mile, but I’m getting there.

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love being in the water, but I am not a strong swimmer. In grade school my friend’s dad affectionately told me that I swim like a crocodile doing a death roll…and I have not improved much. :-/ Thank goodness we have some awesome warm and shallow beaches here!
Michelle says
Let’s go Swimming…
Beach or pool, I love them all…but I still have to hold my nose! :oP
Kelly says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I can’t wait to get my triplets in my sister’s pool this summer!
JoAnna says
LETS GO SWIMMING..love splashing in the water with the kids on a warm day! We practically live at the lake all summer! :)

Jaimi says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I loooovvve lounging by the pool/in the pool and watching my little girl swim her heart out!!
MB says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m an average swimmer but all three of my kids are on a swim team and it is an awesome sport that they can all do together, despite their age difference! LOVE!
austin says
Let’s go swimming! I actually have a love-hate relationship with swimming. As in, I love the thought of it, but am not as strong a swimmer as I’d like, and I kind of hate that.
But I love these prints!
Kristen says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to go swimming. I don’t have regular access to a pool but I do swim if I can keep the sun off of me (sunburner here).
