Let’s go swimming! I love swimming in the ocean, or floating on a raft in a pool with a beer in my hand.
Angie says
Tomorrow the phrase of the day is “LET’S GO SWIMMING” because I am bringing my little Lucy to the pool. I love the water and I want her to be a lover of water too.
Erika says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Lounging in the water is one of my most favorite things. A lazy river is my idea of a great time!
Trish says

I do love the pool and water in general. I don’t go in nearly enough though. It’s nice to be quite natural at it, can’t wait for the summer!
Kim says
Let’s go swimming!! Love the water!!
Darcie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m not personally a swimmer – now that I live in Southern California I’m learning to love the water…preferably the pool. Since we are surrounded by water my daughter has been taking swim lessons since she was 6 months old!
Melanie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming, especiallty in the ocean, but haven’ t gone in forever. Thinking of signing up for some mommy and me lessons with my seven-month-old starting next month.
Carolyn says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I loll around in the pool – if I do laps I use flippers and a kickboard! My husband just jumps in and swims for ever!
What about you guys?
Jordan says
Let’s go swimming!
We don’t do a lot of swimming in the Seattle area, but we certainly have some of the most beautiful water (Puget Sound!) around us! I grew up around water and love it!
Rachael says
Let’s go swimming! I love the ocean, but hate swimming in lakes and pools. I know that’s weird.

Ana says
LET’S GO SWIMMING
I like the water, but don’t get to enjoy it much.
Rachael G says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming. It makes me think of my childhood when my grandfather would take me to the pool all day long. I used to swim underwater with my hand on my head pretending to be a shark. Oh my, I thought I was so cool then haha!
Michelle says
Let’s Go Swimming! I love to go swimming! I am anxiously awaiting hot weather so I can go splashing in a pool and when I am done, enjoy a nice cold beverage.
Georgia says
Let’s go swimming! I’m more of a wader than a swimmer. I still pinch my nose to go under water. But I’ll brave the waves to go boogie boarding on lake Michigan! As long as my feet touch bottom, of course…..
Melissa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water. I was a lifeguard for 8 years and taught swim lessons during that time, too, so I spent every day of the summer and most of the winter in the water!
Shannon says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Water and I are very good friends. I love to swim laps or really do anything in the pool!
Carli D says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I love the water! I live in Arizona, so swimming is a matter of surviving the summer here!

Emily @ Door13 says
Let’s go swimming!! I’ve always love the water…pool or beach works for me!
Erin @ Fierce Beagle says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim, although I’m not particularly awesome at it. I once read that to improve breathing technique, to practice breathing without freaking out while the shower is running over your face. Makes me feel like GI Jane every time I do it…you know, the scene where she’s being waterboarded.
Shay says
LET’S GO SWIMMING
I live in Florida and have all my life… OF COURSE I love swimming ;-)!!
Brooklynne says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim. Born in arizona, it was the only way to beat the heat in the summer. I love to plug my nose and face the sky underwater. On cloudy days, it’s gorgeous.
Tia says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I am a wantabe high-diver. I’ve looked into lessons, but haven’t taken the plunge just yet.
Hayley says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I was a competitive swimmer for 14 years! I love to swim and I love this artwork!
Jill says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water, though more for relaxing than actually swimming laps. I can’t wait to take my almost two-year-old swimming this summer!
Molly says
Let’s go swimming! I love the water, the beach, the pool, etc. I flipped for a minute when I first saw your new art. I thought it was a friend’s, who does strikingly similar work but with layers of resin overtop. I love both styles, and can’t believe how similar they are, when they live states away and have never heard of each other! http://www.etsy.com/shop/scoutcuomo
Anita says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim for exercise, assuming it’s nice and warm outside!
Tiffany says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I can’t wait for warmer weather to go kayaking! Swimming is fun, but our fav swimming spots are fed through snow melt, so I won’t be diving in anytime soon. Brr!
lauren w says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I like lounging in the water but I’m a horrible swimmer!
megan diaz says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!”
I have quite the interesting swimming history. I took beginner swim classes when I was tiny, like 5 years old, and FAILED multiple times, because I was too scared to canon ball off the deep end, and to put my face in the water (both required to pass). So, I failed, at 5 years old, multiple times (I still remember that defeated feeling as all the other kids looked at me like a mutant mermaid). Fast forward 15 years later, and I’m one of the best swimmers in my college swim class! Suffice to say, I overcame my fears, and now I can breaststroke with the best of them :)
Francesca says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I do love water, but no surprise since I’m a pisces! :)
Tricia says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I am not a swimmer. But I do love the water!
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Sarah Cocina says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Only up to my waist!
Laura (Blogging Over Thyme) says
LETS GO SWIMMING!
My parents had me swimming at a very early age, so I’ve always felt like a fish in terms of my comfort in water. I love swimming–nothing reminds me of the summer more!
amy says

Erin says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water!
Olala says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I looove swimming, snorkeling, playing with waves, and just sitting by the sea and looking at water and listening to the sound of waves and smelling the salt
