Fab Freebie: French Swimming

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Well now that we’re more than ready to find a pool to dive into, random.org has picked a winner of this week’s giveaway. The lucky lady is… Cher (who swims about 20 laps each day in the summer). Congrats!

One element in our new kitchen that always makes us smile is the etsy print that we purchased by Samantha French. Remember, the cheery orange and blue painting of the lady swimming (that Clara also sweetly though included some “fishies”)? Well now Samantha is giving you guys a chance to win your very own colorful work of art with a $200 gift certificate to her Etsy shop. So grab your swim cap and bathing suit because that’s enough to snag any of the 16 x 20″ archival prints featuring Samantha’s signature subject matter.

Samantha French Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $200 gift card to Samantha French’s Etsy shop
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “LET’S GO SWIMMING!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …are you a swimmer? Do you love going to the pool to do a few laps? Or maybe just to splash around (or lounge around)? Or are you and water not friends?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 28th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Worldwide!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Samantha French.

    I am or was a swimmer and one time someone asked me a long long time ago if I was a professional swimmer! I always naturally did the mermaid kick when I swam and one day will swim with the turtles!

    loved to climb up the high dive when I was small–and inch out to the edge and do a cutaway dive towards the board– I was scared of heights so this was a big deal!

    Let’s Go Swimming!

    We are a swimming family! we moved almost 3 years ago to a house with a brand new pool. We are in it all summer, splashing around, making up games, having friends and family over whenever they want. We just love being able to have so much outdoor time even when the weather is way hot.

    “LET’S GO SWIMMING!” I love the water, but I’m not the best swimmer in the world. I prefer more to jump in the waves or sit in the hot tub, not actual swimming.

    I love swimming pools! So much so that my younger sister and I almost made each other t-shirts with that as a saying one year after an intense conversation about how the ocean is a fish toilet.
    Also, you’re welcome for that image the next time that you go swimming.
