One element in our new kitchen that always makes us smile is the etsy print that we purchased by Samantha French.

“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I’m a fish. I grew up in a gated community surrounding a huge lake, with 2 beaches. The community also had a private pool. I probably spent at least 10 summers straight without missing a day in the water!
Lindsay says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Love swimming! Have grown up around the beach and pool my whole life. Hope to give the same experiences to my kids. I really do love her work. What a great giveaway
Amanda says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming and don’t get to go as often as I like. It’s been fairly warm here, so maybe I’ll have a longer summer season to get to the pool.

Lets Go Swimming!
I grew up swimming in the pool in my backyard and at my grandma’s lake. Now that I live thousands of miles away in Seattle I miss them both! I have just moved in to a new house and am in need of some art to make the walls feel lived in! Beautiful work!

Let’s Go Swimming!!
I was on the swim team in high school as well as the summer swim team in our community. It was tons of fun!!! I live in a community where we have access to 5 swimming pools….so we spend lots of summer days in the pool! My kids are quite fond of the pool with a “waterslide”!

Would love to have one of these prints hanging in our gallery hallway dedicated to our sweet girl.

Boz says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I like to swim laps during summer, either in a pool or a lake or the ocean. My wife likes to splash and play games and thinks I’m a weirdo for just wanting to do laps.

As John probably knows, swimming is huge in Northern VA. I swam on my summer team for 12 years, and spent all day every day hanging out at the pool. Still live with a swimmer now too :)
Ashley says
Let’s go swimming! I took swimming lessons and we had a pool for a while when I was a kid – now I can just swim well enough to not drown LOL! I still love the water though.

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m admittedly not much of a swimmer, but I love being near water, esp. the ocean.
Jenny says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I used to be a swimmer/lifeguard during high school and am excited that my 1 year old is showing signs of being a water baby. The kid can’t get enough of dunking his little face in the bath-tub, then picking it up giggling and doing it all over again! Bring on the summer!
vicky says
Let’s Go Swimming! Nothing like floating in a pool or watching the kids play in the kiddie pool on a hot day.
