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 spent my summers at the Jersey shore and, while I love the ocean, I couldn’t care less if I never swam in the Atlantic again. I do enjoy splashing around in a pool, though.

    I really learned to swim as an adult, just a couple of years ago. I had a couple of bad experience with water, and finally wanted to learn how to swim, both as exercise, and as a personal goal.

    LET’S GO SWIMMING! I usually stay in the shallow end and don’t venture farther than where I can stand (I’m only 5′ 2″). I almost drowned when younger so I have a “healthy” fear. One of my resolutions this year is to take swimming lessons. I’m really excited!

    I do swim, and love the water. Not so sure that I want to do a tri though (as a lot of my friends are trying to get me to do!) I don’t really want to swim in a lake or the ocean for a long distance–gross!

    I’m just ok at swimming. At my first pool workout in college (I played volleyball) I totally freaked out while treading with weights so I had to tread in the middle with a buoy. So embarrassing!

    Let’s Go Swimming! I love to swim…growing up everyday in the summer, I remember my mom would drive me and my brothers over to the local swimming pool. Mom would sit in the shade with the other moms and chat all afternoon, and my brothers and I would swim until our skin was all wrinkly and our blonde hair was turning green from the clorine! Aww memories!
