LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I am a non-swimmer that has participated in 3 triathlons in the last 2 years (sprint distance). I seriously doggie paddle/side stroke/back stroke my way through it. I probably looked like a fool, but felt proud of myself for finishing.
Emily B. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I swam year your since I was 7 years old (it was basically my life) and even same 3 of my 4 years in college at a Division 1 school.
Lauren H. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
My boyfriend and I just recently moved to a house by the lake- we are eagerly awaiting the Summer weather so we can get out and enjoy the water. We both have grown up around the lake and feel truly blessed to have been able to enjoy everything that the water has to offer. The Earth is a magical place!
Hang says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Three years ago, when I was 35, I faced a lifelong fear of water, and swimming, and enrolled in an adult swimming class. The deep end used to make me hyperventilate! Today, swimming challenges me (3 triathlons under my belt), calms me (my moving meditation in weekly laps), and awes me (exploring oceanlife on vacations.) Now I can honestly say, “Let’s go swimmming!!!”
Laura says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the water! Those prints take me right back to long summer days spent in my grandparent’s backyard pool.

“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
Except not today. It was 85 last Thursday but tonight with the wind chill it will be near zero ; )
I love to swim, love the water, love the reflection of light on water that’s why those prints are so great….
Mollie S. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Except not, because I can’t swim. I never learned as a kid because of my irrational fear of sharks in swimming pools.

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I can’t really swim. Just enough to keep my head above water. But I do love to jump in and splash around a little and lounge by an ocean.
Robyn says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I try to swim laps pretty regularly and since I sprained my ankle, it’s the easiest way for me to exercise. That being said, it can be boring compared to running outside.
Julia says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
The ocean over the pool for me.

Kimbre B says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!! Seriously, I’ve been wanting to go swimming forever. I only got to go once this past summer! This 38 week preggo body of mine has been wanting to jump into a pool of cool water all winter long! I think I’m probably part fish! I can’t wait until this baby comes so that I can buy him or her a swimsuit! This summer I am definitely going to have to hit the pool wayyyy more than last year! (Wow! So many exclamation points in this response… sorry, I’m just super excited about this topic!) :)

Lets Go Swimming!
I prefer to lounge by the pool rather than getting in, although when it gets too hot the pool is always a great place to cool off.
Ashley Jensen says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I was actually on the varsity swim team in high school for 3 years. I swam freestyle, backstroke, and fly. I still LOVE the water and so does my daughter. We go swimming A LOT during the summer, either at the pool or the river.
Linda says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the water- but I wouldn’t call myself a swimmer. However- I have participated in a Tri – and to tell you the truth I am not sure how I finnished the swim portion! It was my slowest portion of the race!
