One element in our new kitchen that always makes us smile is the etsy print that we purchased by Samantha French.

LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I love the water but haven’t swam or even been in a pool much since….middle school? I suppose I grew up and got self conscious about my body and now have no excuse to go swimming. I’ve decided that having no children gives me no excuse to act like one myself…and this stinks!
Alex says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim! I recently moved to Germany and I’m yet to find a pool here where I can do lengths. Until I do, this would be the perfect reminder of the water to hang on my rather empty walls!
Lou says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the ocean but I steer clear of chlorinated pools.
stacy says
Let’s go swimming!! Living in Florida- we swim year round and the whole family loves the water. I especially love the beach- i could veg all day long just people watching and listening to the waves!
Netty C says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!!!!!!!!

Richard says
Let’s go swimming! I like swimming at night! No one can see what you look like and its relaxing!
wendy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!!
I swim like a dolphin. I greatly prefer to live near water, so that I can be in it every possible day. Except if it’s cold. Then I’m not a huge fan. But I love to swim.
Chelsea says
LET’s GO SWIMMING!! I did swimming one year in highschool and it was not for me, but my boyfriend is an awesome swimmer! He has swam since he was 6, but I just stick to laying by the pool!
maggie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to lay near the pool and read, but I don’t do much more than doggie paddle unless I have to.
Maria says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming, I love the sea and I love Samantha’s works (and I can participate for the first time, worldwide!)

Jessica Wan says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Although I flunked “Advanced Beginners” swimming lessons three summers in a row as a kid, I still love being in the water.
Denise von Minden says
Let’s Go Swimming!!! I love to swim, but I’m not very good at it! I do love sitting poolside with my feet in the water!
Marie Thum says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water… pool, lake, ocean… doesn’t matter. I was the pool rat who was waiting at the gate when it opened every day in the summer. The lifeguards must have loved me, ha. :)

Jodie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love this artwork! I am a total fish! Usually I’m the first one in the water and last one out. Grew up beach camping on a lake, so lakes are my fav, but I’ll happily take a pool or ocean too! If you are swimming outside that means its sunny! The ultimate combo!
Alison says
LET’s GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming, love the ocean, love the pool. My friends and I swam on swim team in the summer then spent the rest of the day at the pool… I miss being a pool rat!!
lauren pavao says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! Although I love swimming, I love laying in the sun more!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I have not been a swimmer for most of my adult life, but I have plans this summer to get over that and enjoy me some cool, refreshing swim-time!
kathy says
LETS GO SWIMMING!
Me and the H2o are great friends :) Makes me appreciate that we have it here to swim in and relish :)
Catherine says
Let’s Go Swimming!
I am a water baby … a mermaid on legs, I think. I’m not big into lapswimming, but I love to bob, float, and tread.
Thanks for the chance!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I practically lived in pools during summers of my childhood…and I feel the same way about water now!

Let’s go swimming! :D Who doesn’t love to lounge around the pool! Either at the pool or up North at the cottage I love to play in the water!
stephanie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love doing laps in open water, preferably the ocean. :)
Ashley @ sunnysideshlee.com says
LETS GO SWIMMING!
Yes! I’m so excited about this giveaway! What an amazing artist!
I’m a lounger … I like to float. My mom was an amazing all-state swimmer in high school and my younger sister is a fish. But me? Eh, I like to relax and just float around :)
ClaraAnne says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I used to swim 60 laps three times a week but since I’ve moved, the pool at my current location allows me to do nothing but Wade. Seriously the deepest end is waist high!
Kassy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! Love, love, LOVE the water and so excited to be moving to Florida in a few weeks to enjoy the water more often!
Ashley W. says
Let’s go swimming!
I’m not BFF’s with the water, but I love it way more now that my 16-month old can enjoy it so much!
Heather says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I love to lounge at the pool, but most of all I love watching my son have fun at the pool. I think he should have been born a fish!
amber says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming,especially in the ocean, but don’t get to go much here in chilly Seattle.
Shasta L. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I am not a fan of the water by nature, unless we’re talking hot tubs.
Ashley Lynn says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
LOVE the water- whether it is my pool, the lake or a pond, I have always loved swimming!!
heather says
Let’s go swimming!!!
i love a pool more than life itself. i am not a terrific swimmer but i’m a great lounger. one of my true goals in life is to have a house with a pool. i would go in it every day i could.
Amanda C says
Let’s Go Swimming!
I’m not a swimmer at all….I’d much rather sit on the beach :) My hubby was a part of his school’s swim team so with our little babe we started taking him to the pool at 6 weeks old. He loves it.
Lisa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love being in the water and hope our son does, too – I just signed him up for swim lessons today!
Briel K. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I do like to swim, preferably in a pool and not the ocean (CA beaches are cold!). I can’t hold my breathe under water without plugging my nose but that’s okay! I can still swim and float around. :)
Mercedes says
LETS GO SWIMMING! I can’t even think of the last time that I have been in a swimming pool. Although I’ve been to the beach a handful of time in the last few years, I really don’t think I’ve gone in any farther than up to my knees.
But, this would be a great gift for my mother, she has been swimming her entire life and still gets to the pool at least 3 times a week and competes in swim meets all over the country.
Carson says
LET’S GO SWIMMING because we just moved to Florida and it is already 80+ degrees out!
Hilary says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! My fiance is a former collegiate swimmer and currently writes freelance articles on the sport! He keeps promising to teach me how to swim “for real” although I don’t mind just doggy-paddling around. Also, I absolutely love the Samantha French paintings/prints. As soon as you posted about the one in your kitchen I was checking out her etsy page.
erica says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
love the water, can’t wait for it to warm up so i can head to the beach!
Kim says
Let’s go swimming! I am more of a poolside lounger, or a feet in the kiddie pool kind of gal!
Annabelvita says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming in the outdoors
