Wilhelmina says
Let’s go swimming!! When I was a kid, my parents practically had to drag me out of the ocean at the end of the day. 25 years later, not a whole lot has changed!
Kristen M. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I am a fan of splashing around with the kids…as long as the water is warm!
Tina says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the picture in your kitchen! Almost as much as I love lounging by the pool in the sun with a cold drink & a magazine.
Jessica says
LET”S GO SWIMMING!!!!!!!!!
OR as Dori would say, ‘Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, what do we have to do, we have to swiiiiimmmmm’.
My current mantra to get me through the days.
Cheryl says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I like the pool, but we never seem to make it very often in the summer!
amanda says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I love the water! I have been on the swim team since I was 8 years old and can’t wait to teach my kids someday :) The ocean is my favorite place to swim and ride the waves!
Megan S. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING…. I am a huge water baby at heart!
Meghan says
Let’s go swimming! I love to swim and wish I got the chance more often!
Megan says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I’m kind of a lounge swimmer. If it were up to my kids though, we would go swimming every single day. In fact, we’re taking them to the pool tonight for a family night!
Shraddha says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the water!
Gina says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Grew up in the water, can’t live too far away from it or I feel claustrophobic.
Casey says
Let’s go swimming! I love the ocean and could spend entire days just snorkeling and floating around.
Meghan says
Let’s go swimming! Swimming’s great! As long as it’s not too cold!
Deanne says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
Here in Australia, despite the craziness of the working week, without fail every Saturday a hoard of parents take their children to swimming lessons. 8am Saturday mornings you will find me watching my son learn to swim.
Chip says
Let’s go swimming! My favorite time in the water is at the BEACH!
sudhaa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING
Our family enjoys going to the beach. Every summer we spend time relaxing and swimming.
Alanna says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I am (or was if I don’t do it much anymore?) a swimmer, water polo player, lifeguard. I love all things water!
Lyndsey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water, especially splashing about in crystal sea with a snorkel or on top of a lilo! More recently having found out I am first time pregnant with twins splashing about in a warm bath has become my new best friend.
I have had ‘Slow Breathing’ print featured about in my ‘Best of the Rest’ Pinterest Board (LHR13) for the last 37 weeks, so fingers crossed xxx
Meredith says
Let’s go swimming. I LOVE to swim. I grew up on the swim team at home and swam in high school. Great giveaway!
Megan says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming in the summer. When it’s 115 out, the pool feels pretty good – except when the water is 96 and it feels like you are in a giant bathtub!
Leigh Anne says
LET’S GO SWIMMING
I am a total water baby :)
Allison H. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
i love love love the water! my favorite time of the year is when i get get in!
Sherry from BC says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Oh I hope I win this…..I have loved that print ever since you posted it. I am not a big fan of swimming, nearly drowned as a child. Went through the Fraidy cat type lessons so I can swim but don’t really enjoy it but love anything on top of the water. Kayaking, canoeing, white water rafting. I even loved snorkeling in Hawaii as the payoff of the fish made it all worth while.
Jamie says
I love swimming, but I haven’t done much since mom and dad got rid of their pool a few years back. We try to make it to someone else’s pool because I have an irrational fear of getting a brain parasite from river water, lol.
Have fun & good luck,everyone.
amanda says
Let’s go swimming! I love to swim. When I was in HS my dad installed our ingrown pool by himself (well, his two brothers and dad helped too). So, John, it is definitely possible and I’d be more than happy to tell you about the process. It has been a great addition to our house.
Skye says
Let’s go swimming!! …even if I’m not very good at it :)
sudhaa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I WISH i CAN SWIM
Jill says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I do love the water, though just remembering my swim team days when I was younger makes me a little nervous (I’m definitely not a born competitor!) :)
OMG-YHL says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
How funny! As soon as you guys posted about that art you bought, I immediately went to Samantha French’s etsy page and drooled over her gorgeous works! Fingers crossed!
And I’m one of those people who can enjoy swimming once in a beach day– after that, once I’ve gotten warm and dry, there’s no getting me back in the water!
Tana says
Lets’s Go Swimming!!
I love to swim! It’s my favorite form of exercise.

Let’s go Swimming! I love the water and would like to be in the water everyday if I could!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I am a lounger/tanner/get in to cool off! I can’t wait for the pool to open!
Elizabeth says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water whether it be the ocean, lake or pool. I love to jump in like a kid doing different jumps and I think the water games are the best!
McCaulie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!! I love to swim especially in the ocean where I can snorkel and admire the fishies! P.S. This is an AWESOME giveaway!!
meekasmommy says
let’s go swimming! and while i love the thought of water – and do enjoy a day or two by the shore – i’m not a huge beach person in general. mountains are more my kind of thing ;)
Elisabeth says
Let’s go SWIMMING! I love all bodies of water-lakes, oceans, pools, rivers, streams, and hot tubs :)
Sally says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love lake swimming – especially if there’s a sandy beach I can bury my toes in!
Laura says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I really like water, but I’m not the best swimmer. My husband is definitely a water fiend! We’d love to win some art like this. Thanks for the chance! :)
Lindsey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim and I took my daughter swimming for the first time today!
Carol S says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to swim although I have to say I’m not a huge fan of swimming in the ocean (if that makes sense). My fiance, on the other hand, is a complete water baby.
What a great giveaway!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming as well – mom always brought us to the pool, made sure we were always in swim classes, was even on the swim team (despite my flutter kick being completely ineffective).
Shannon says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I bought a house on a lake so I could watch the water AND go swimming!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I dont really enjoy the water that much. My wife does so we will vacation at places by the water and we will go swimming at her brothers house a few streets over but I many just relax in the pool either standing or on a raft.
Marti says
Let’s go swimming!
I enjoy the water and train often in it, as I participate triathlons as often as my two boys allow. ;) I really like Samantha French’s work, and yours is the first blog I check every day!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I used to spend every day of summer vacation at the public pool with my best friend. These beautiful images of swimming evoke so many good feelings and memories in me!
