LET’S GO SWIMMING!!! The weather is actually nice enough in the UK for a swim (though the sea would be mighty cold!)
Katelyn says
Let’s Go Swimming…I love to swim and have been doing it since I was a baby. I was a high school swim team member and now I try to keep that up with regular visit to a local pool for some laptime.
Melissa @ Loving this crazy life! says
LETS GO SWIMMING!!! I love swimming and always have. When I was two and my father was stationed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the base swimming pool was accross from our house and my mom would take me everyday. I was a fish! Jumping of the diving board and swimming the width of the pool. Such great memories!
Wendy M. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I can’t swim! I can do a mean doggy-paddle, though.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t taught… I went through at least 5 classes as a child, and none of them did anything for me except teach me how to float on my back.
sarah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
I love to swim and so does my sister. The painting on the bottom right reminds me so much of us as kids!
liz says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I was a swimmer since before I could remember! Long days were spent at the pool during the summer starting with swim team practice stretching out through the hot afternoons culminating with the happiest words “let’s have dinner here!” Can’t wait until we are back at the pool this summer!
Steph T. says
Let’s go swimming! As a swim coach I will help you get a workout AND improve your strokes. We’re gearing up to start our Spring/Summer season in just under a week so: let’s go Stingrays!!
Nickie Dix says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
I love the water so much that my family used to joke that I had webbed toes! I love swimming in a pool, ocean,lake, hot tub, bath tub, if there’s water, I’ll be there! I even signed up for a triathlon this summer because I love the swim portion!
Jessica K. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love being at/near the water, but not really going under. :)

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I miss the beaches in NC, where I grew up. Although I work on an island now (Manhattan), it’s just not the same ;)
Kim says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
It’s been forever since I’ve gone swimming but I do love it! Pool over ocean though. I hate all the sand!
Carla Mahnke says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!

Sarah K says

Emily Kim says
Let’s go swimming! I am a fish in the water. Love the pool or ocean.
Christie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

Marla Fernandes says
LET’S GO SWIMMIMG!
Love the water. My kids and I just got back from a 2 week trip to Panama where we lived in the water for 2 weeks solid! So many memories at the pool, the lake, the ocean and bath time for myself and my family…
Andie G says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! Nothing says summer better than a nice aqua blue pool. I could back float all day long! (Well, at least I’d love to try!)
Jennifer says
Let’s go swimming! I love all things water. I might even be part fish. :)

Karen says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming in the pool, ocean, tub, whatever:)

Christina says
Let’s go swimming! I love swimming in the ocean….or floating, which is really what my “swimming” looks like, haha.
Amber says
Let’s Go Swimming!
I come from a long line of woman who love the water. I think when you grow up on the ocean, you’ve got some extra salt water in you.
Talia says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming at the beach and the pool but this summer just been I didn’t get to swim once due to an eye problem and some intense eye drops :(
Ana says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
I can´t wait for the summer. Anything that has to do with water makes me happy. I even tried surfing last year, although I´m only good at paddling and sitting in the board :p
Sheri D. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING…Or at least let’s take the kids swimming. Our local indoor “Splashdown” water slide just re-opened after a long renovation and my 6 year-old daughter had discovered her true purpose in life is to go down that long twisty slide as many times as possible. I’m glad she’s an independent little thing because mama does not do uncontrolled plunges into deep water.
Cristina says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I learned to swim by myself when I was about 6 or so. It’s been fun and I look forward to teach my daughter to swim.
Siobhan says
LET’S GO SWIMMING – Loooove it! In the pool or the sea. My favourite thing to do.
Sara says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Living in Arizona meant that as a kid, I spent at least three months of the year almost constantly in the pool. :) I can almost smell the chlorine looking at Samantha’s gorgeous prints!
Angela says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I can take or leave swimming, but my 3 kids have started to become little fishies, so going to the pool is now something fun for the whole family!
Liliana C.B. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I am not a swimmer, but do have it on my 2012 list of resolutions! :)
Nadine says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
those prints make me wanna jump in! love the water, so fresh.
Jenna Leigh says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Truly one of my most favorite sentences. I spend most of my summer immersed in the crystal clear turquoise water about 300 yards from my front door – and through the neighbor’s lawn!
Lindsey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Not a great swimmer, but I can pretend with the best of ’em!
Rebecca says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim but I’m not a big fan of sun exposure, so I don’t swim as much as I use to. But when the sun goes down, count me in :-)
Ella says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming laps with the hubby. Daughter is almost 3 and we can’t wait for her to swim around with us!

Let’s go swimming! I don’t swim well, but I love to splash around in the pool or the ocean with my friends or little cousins. And I especially love it when it’s a hot spring pool.

Sabrina says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I grew up on Miami Beach, so I love the water, and especially the ocean. On my most recent visit back home I was surprised at how much I had missed swimming through the waves, lying on the beach reading, and listening to the waves.
Basil says
Let’s go swimming! I use to be a lifeguard, so I’ll always have a fondness for the water:-)
Amelia R. says
Let’s Go Swimming!
I’ve had my two-year-old in swim lessons again this month . . . and when he’s in the mood for it, he leans back in the water with his head on my shoulder, and a blissful smile on his face. Life is good, in the pool.
Christine says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I miss growing up in Florida where you always have a friend with a pool.
Stacie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! And yes, I LOVE swimming! Great giveaway! <3
Jenna Nicholson says
Let’s go swimming!
I love to swim! I grew up on a small lake, so we spent the summers on the water. If only I didn’t have to work now, I would be back there every summer!
Betty says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! or we can just sit by the pool with a cocktail… either way, I’m in!
