I LOVE to swim – taught swimming for many years, as well as synchronized swimming… I still train lifeguards every summer.
Kelsey Fink says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I grew up as a river rat – in fact, my mom took me to the lake when I was just 2 weeks old with a little sunhat and swim suit. The rest is history, I suppose. I love to swim or just be near water.
Danielle E says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!Growing up, both sets of grandparents had pools and lived about 5 minutes away so I was pretty much a fish. Now a days I prefer to stay on the dryer side, but will jump in every now and then.
Marplena says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim in warm waters, that means here in Finland maybe one week during the Summer. But on our annual holidays in Greece I love to swim in the ocean!

Heather says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! So ready for it to be warm enough to swim!
Margo says
Let’s go swimming! I do like to swim but I kind of get bored quickly. I never know what to do when I’m in the water. Game? They’re all lame… Laps? I don’t want to exercise!
Ocean swimming is probably the my favorite since you have an actual mission (jump the waves without being pummeled).

Andrea says
Let’s go swimming!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE water! Ever since I was a child I’ve been drawn to water. As a 3-year-old I desperately wanted to go swimming but hadn’t been taught yet. What I could do was diving. Gave my mum about 300 almost heart attacks since we were on holiday in Corse at the time.
My love for water never stopped (I’m a water sign, what can I say) but nowadays I prefer pools over the ocean and lakes since algue creep me out like nothing else.
:D

Dinka says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m a Southern California splasher! I loooooover the water, but I’m not the most graceful swimmer…but that’s okay cuz I can stay afloat when need be and as soon as it gets warm enough, you’ll find me out in any water I can find – pool, ocean, stream, whatever!

Jaclyn says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
After moving inland, I miss the ocean so very much. In fact, there was probably about 5 years I was convinced I was a mermaid.
Unfortunately my husband and sand are not friends.
Liz says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I was a competitive swimmer in high school and loved it, but managed to destroy my shoulder and can no longer swim for a workout. Even so, I love nothing better than to hop in a river, stream, lake, ocean, or pool and splash around! And I LOVE her art!
Carolyn H. says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” … I swam competitvely all through school and was on my varsity team. It’s been years, but I still get an adrenaline rush when I watch swimmers race on TV.
These pieces are so gorgeous that I might buy one for our bathroom, even if I don’t win. You guys mentioned putting oversized artwork in small spaces this morning. I wonder what that would look like? And I love the idea of putting water pictures near water-y places, like kitchens and bathrooms.
Deborah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the pool….but not so much the ocean ( not swimming in it anyway)
Allisson says
LETS GO SWIMMING! I love the pool but living in the city doesn’t really give me access to one for the most part!
Scott says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Not a big swimmer. Not a small swimmer, either. I can swim, I just don’t like to. :)
Megan says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m not a very good swimmer and often find water too cold, but if it’s warm enough I love to just float around.
Echo says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Can’t wait to hit the beach in a week! Love it.

I swim with a master’s team in North Carolina. My husband and I actually met with the group. This past weekend I competed in my first swim meet in 19 years!
katevp says
woo to the hoo!
LET”S GO SWIMMING!!!
I grew up in Georgian Bay here in Ontario. I am a little fish, I am certainly hoping for the same for my daughter who just this week went from terrified of getting her head wet in the bath to putting her whole face in:)
hurray!
