LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
I just started my 10-month old son in swimming lessons. He loves the tub, but apparently does not love the pool.
Coz says
Let’s go swimming! We love the water but don’t get to see enough of it, can’t wait to take bambino on first trip to the beach.
Nardia Cooper says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I had not been able to swim (or even float after a back injury) so I used to just walk around the pool with my daughter hanging off my neck.
After having surgery and getting the school pool key for the summer it feels good to have reacquainted myself with real swimming and the joy of just floating on my back Starfish Style.
I love reading your blog and Johns toilet seal tutorial recently came in handy!
Sara says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

Caroline says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to swim, hence my email address :) I have taught people of all ages to swim. From 12 months to 77 years old. I have spent alot of time around the pool.
Kelly M says
Let’s go SWIMMING! I love the beach, but could honestly do without the swimming part. My husband and my daughter are totally crazy for the water so I leave the splashing to them.
Merideth says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I have a love/hate relationship with the water. It feels so nice, but sometimes I feel like I have a little hydrophobia!
Caroline says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love being around the water and swimming. Weather it’s at a pool swimming laps or splashing around in the ocean.
Theresa Rivers says
Let’s go swimming!! I am so NOT a pool girl, but I’ll go to a lake or pond anyday. Thankfully I’m lucky enough to live int eh northwest where we have beautiful and warm clay beaches from about 4months of the year. :)
LKG says
LET’S GO SWIMMING, yes I am a swimmer
Beth Anne says

LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!! My dad was an olympic swimmer, although I’m not very good, and I remember as a child him letting my hold on and him swimming me around the pool…that picture reminds me of that!
Meghan M. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I actually can’t swim…. Her art is gorgeous though!!!! :)
Momcat says
Let’s Go Swimming!!
You BETCHA I’m a water baby! I was born on an island (Hawaii), how much more water baby can you get?!! My dad was in the Navy and also a boater so I grew up on the water. Love love love– pools, baths, lakes, rivers, oceans…. even puddles! Used to have a house on a lake, and someday before I die, I will live by the ocean.
Jessica @ The Desert Abode says
Let’s go swimming!
I like swimming, but I LOVE snorkeling.
Christie G. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m definitely a swimmer. I swam in High School for 2 years, until I realized I wanted sleep :) But I still love jumping in for a lap~
Ali says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Just got back from a Virgin Islands trip where I did lots of snorkling, so it’s kinda swimming and sightseeing at the same time. So fun!
Megan says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I like to lounge in the water, but sadly have never learned how to swim “properly!” The breathing part freaks me out, which I guess is a pretty major part of swimming.
Kelly says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I like to lay in a raft in the pool..preferably with a cold drink in hand!
Lynn says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m more of a reclining poolside, drink in hand, trashy novel type of gal but my kiddos and husband are part fish!
Val says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I love to swim! I’m already counting the days until summer days at the lake and passing the time lap swimming.
Claudia says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I enjoy taking my kids to the pool because they love being in the pool and it gets HOT in Texas! No laps though, we just like to hang out and keep cool.
Jeana says
Let’s Go Swimming!
I love the water! I go to the local YWCA to deep water aerobics twice a week and spend all the time I can on the beach during the summers(which are too short here in Wisconsin)!
Megan S. says
Let’s go swimming….
I was a swimmer when I was younger, but I still love being around the pool! You take me to the beach, and you won’t find me in it, but I love being in the pool — maybe it’s because I can see everything in the pool…
Elizabeth says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
Yes I love the water…I was always quite a little fish when I was little. Later I got the chance to spend many long hours working on riverboats!
Heather W says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!!
I love watching my kids play at the pool and have always wanted my own pool in the backyard!
Ann says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I don’t mind swimming, but I don’t like hanging out in public in a swimsuit.
Alison says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
There is nothing better than floating in the ocean.
A says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” Nothing beats a cool dip on a hot Southwest Florida day!
Tiffany says
LETS GO SWIMMING! I like to jump in every now and then, but mainly read some epic novel poolside while the kids I nanny splash away and get their willies out! I read lonesome dove last summer, entirely while tanning at the public pool!
Erin M. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!! I love floating and bobbing in the ocean, or coolin’ off in the shallow end of a pool with a good book.
Annie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! L-O-V-E to swim!
Maggie says
Let’s go swimming!
I love to swim, but have you noticed how swim and sun tend to go hand in hand? Sun is my near mortal enemy, so I’m the one sitting under a little half tent at the beach. Still love it though!
Rena says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I absolutely love to swim, and am always the first one in… unless, that is, I throw someone else in!! Muah ah ah ahhhh!!
sarah @ sarah learns says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
i’m not particularly fond of swim-suits, so i don’t swim often! i am quite a fan of hot tubbing it up though!
Christina says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love the water. Swimming with my little girls and being by the beach.
Christina C. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love being in the water, although the water here in Scotland doesn’t ever get warm enough to go in…guess I’ll have to plan a trip to a fantastic tropical island soon!
Maura says
Let’s go swimming…I love it -can’t do it very well, but love being in water!

Let’s go swimming. I grew up around tons of water and swim like a fish – everyday after work in the summer, if I can!
erica p. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Swimming is so relaxing and soothing to me. I learned how to swim as a child but actually took a class in college to learn how to do the different strokes properly!
Bree says
Let’s GO SWIMMING!!!!!
I call myself a swimmer. I LOVE the water and when people do that “if you could be an animal, what would you be?” thing, I always say dolphin. I LOVE these prints and fell in love the second I saw it. Thanks for sharing her shop!
Maura says
Let’s go swimming. I love the water, but even more I love laying in the sun, dunking in water when I am hot and laying in the sun again. That is my idea of a perfect summer day!
Steph H. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING…love the water. Wish I had gills so I could stay under water all day!
Lisa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Love swimming. Can’t wait for the weather to warm up so we can go jump in the lake!
