Let’s go swimming! I’m not really a big water fan… even though we have about 5 beaches in a three mile radius from our house!
Jennifer says
LETS GO SWIMMING! I love lounging by the pool but also love swimming laps!

Let’s go swimming!
I love swimming anywhere… but living three blocks from the Atlantic Ocean is the best!
Anne says
I love swimming for exercise, and I also love curling up next to the pool in a chair with a good book. Either sounds good to me!

Jackie E. says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”

Kristen @ Popcorn on the Stove says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m not really a fan of water, but when it’s really hot, I’ll kind of wade around or do the doggie paddle :)
Melissa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING

Eric says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the water.
Justine says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I would consider myself a swimmer because I am a strong swimmer and I love the water, but I am terrible at laps. My father swims a mile three times a week, and I have no idea how he does it.
Kate says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim! Wish I lived in a complex that had a pool!
Leatitia @ The Sweetest Year says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m one of those people that swim only with their arms. My legs try really hard, but they don’t make me go anywhere. I just stay in the same spot. My baby is a good swimmer though! We even start a new pool class tomorrow!
Kristin says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming, but don’t do it nearly as much as I should!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I like to wade in the water, but usually I just like to lay in the sun.
Meaghan @ lovelee honeybee says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I love the water and am so excited that our new condo has an indoor pool. I was a lifeguard, so my high school summers were spent pool side and teaching little kiddies how to swim.
Heather says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I have always swam. I swam competitively all through high school. I also used to teach swim lessons!
Elizabeth says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Emily S. says
LETS GO SWIMMING!!!
I like to swim as long as no fish are touching me, hence snorkeling or feeding fish is out!
Brooke says
LETS GO SWIMMING! I LOVE to swim…can’t get me out of the water in the summer!
Clare M says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m not a swimmer, but I do love lounging by the water.
Alex B. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Water and I, sadly, are not friends. I enjoy boating where I’m semi-safe above the water, but I fear getting into it [could be from a near drowning incident I had when I was a kid and my brother climbed on top of my head to keep himself afloat – ahh little brothers :)].
AmiDawn says
LETS GO SWIMMING!
i was on my high school swim team for a grand total of 4 days before i got accidentally smacked in the face which made my lip attach itself to my braces and ended up with a gorgeous fat lip.
but i love the beach :)
Katie says
Let’s go Swimming!!
I grew up with a pool thankfully and have always loved being in or near water. it is the perfect foil for any hot day.
Patti says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I trained for my first triathlon last year, and once I learned to swim properly I discovered that I loved it more than I already thought I did! It’s part of my workout rotation all year now, but I still love goofing off by my parents’ pool or the ocean in the summertime :)
Becky says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I grew up in AZ where swimming was basically the only summer activity we were interested in when the temps hit 110 and above. In Boston, now, swimming is much less a part of my life, but whenever I go home to visit my parents, I love taking a few minutes to just float in the pool watching the blue, blue sky.
Jen M says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m definitely more of a fan of swimming in pools than in the ocean, but will gladly lie in the sun next to either :)
Stephanie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I like to swim.
Emily S. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I am a beach girl and loved the print you guys put up in the kitchen!
Molly says
Let’s go swimming!!
I am a swimmer… swam competitively for 11 years, but now I just do it to stay in shape since I can’t stand to run.
Katie says
Let’s go swimming!
As hot as summer is here in Dallas, water is one of our best friends!
kera says
Let’s Go Swimming-
We are all about the water at our house…..
Kathy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water but I can’t swim!
Kelly M says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Yes I love swimming. I’m more of an ocean/ beach girl than a pool. Can’t wait till it gets just a little bit nicer!
Cherie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I finally took lessons last summer and learned to swim at 35 years old!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I did 11 years of competitive swimming and even now, I am the happiest in water!
PS – I am soooo happy this is a worldwide giveaway, her prints are amazing!
Annette says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I looooooooove water and could spend all day in it. I’ve always been the kid with the blue lips refusing to get out of the pool. I mean, come on: just because I was shaking all over didn’t mean it needed to leave the water, did it?
Michelle Ross says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I like to lounge around pool side : )
Erin says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to “swim” – though by “swim” I mean layout by the pool, drinking something bubbly (like The Parker’s lemonade champagne combo) and jumping in the water every 30 or so min to cool off. Sometimes “swim” means I am in the water on a raft or leaning on the edge reading a gossip magazine. I really love swimming :)
*Also, I really don’t understand why you aren’t compensated for give-aways. They are a form of advertising, so you SHOULD be compensated.
Kristi says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I was a lifeguard in college, but I can count on one hand the times I’ve gotten in the water in the last 5 years. Sad!
brita says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
i was a really big swimmer until i had a really bad experience at the beach involving an enormous wave and my face into a rock a 12480714 miles per hour. Now i stick to calmer water where my feet can touch the bottom!
