McLaurin says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I live on the east coast in Charlston, SC and when I’m not swimming in the water, I’m usually “on the water” ( I.e. boating, wakeboarding, etc.). Unfortunately I recently had a two-level spinal fusion, so I won’t be physically active for awhile. HOWEVER, once I AM recovered, I know that the absolute BEST therapy for my back is swimming. :)

LET’S GO SWIMMING! My boyfriend housesits occasionally at a place with an indoor pool, which is a luxury in rainy Portland, OR. We loooooooove the pool. There’s something so tranquil about floating around, listening to music, and watching the rain fall outside– A delight, I tells ya.
Caitlyn says
Let’s go swimming!! I’m a huge swimmer, and am one of those people that is meant to live by water. We live down the street from a lake and we have a pool in our backyard, so u can’t wait to take our little 1 year old swimming this summer!

Melissa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
My brother is a swimmer on his Varsity swim team (he is actually the captain). He is graduating this May and one of these prints would totally fabulous-i-fy his dorm room in the fall! As for me, the water and I have been good ‘chums’ (hehe) since I was a little girl growing up in San Diego!
Sara says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! We love the water! When I was little my parents purchased an old trailer on a lake in Virginia and we would spend weeks of our summer there, sharing the two bedrooms and one bathroom (5 person family plus friends!) Most of my favorite memories are there. They have since built a house there so that we can all come with our families. Oh, and my husband grew up on the lake! We pretty much get on the water every warm weekend!!
Melissa S. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! We bought a little 10′ across pool with a pump last year. Best $60 we ever spent!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
As kids, my brother and I and my two girlfriends would go to the Y twice a week every summer… we pretended we were mermaids and fought over who got to be Ariel. My brother was always a “sea-dog”.

LET’S GO SWIMMING!! (But only if it’s really, REALLY hot…because there are few things I hate worse than being chilly in the pool!)
Lena says
Let’s go swimming! I just started swimming laps and I love it!

let’s go swimming!!
love to swim…weightless, relaxing, quiet, beautiful. but need some lessons on how to do something other than my own goofy freestyle moves!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I much prefer ocean/lake swimming to pool swimming. The waves, rocks, etc. make it a little more interesting. But sitting by the pool is another story.

Let’s go swimming! I love swimming – although I’m all about the floating these days!
