TamaraC says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I love to swim and used to compete (until I fell off the block and humiliated myself in front of 1000 people!)
z says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! … even though I can’t swim, water and I are still buddies. Hey it’s not her fault right?
Ashley says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! My dream house is a beach house – I could stay in or near the water all day.
Sunita says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I can’t swim but that doesn’t stop me from staying in the pool for an hour and then some more at the Jacquzzi. Love water.
Amanda says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I get totally freaked out in natural water bodies since I had (what I thought at the time were) near drowning experiences but I LOVE swimming and playing in swimming pools.
Mary says
Lets go swimming! I can’t wait for summertime!
Denise says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming, but I’m not very good at it. Why is it so tiring?
Denise says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m a swimmer from way back when I was little, especially in rivers.
Katie says

I am a water baby at heart!!
Krista says

I swim about 4 times a week, year round. I love to swim!!
Loren McCraney says
Let’s go swimming! Here in the deep south pools are necessities to escape the humidity! I can doggy paddle with the best of the chihuahuas!
Corey Green says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming! I can’t wait to take my two toddlers this summer. Thankfully they love it more than I do.
Annie Swift says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Unfortunately, my ability to swim stretches as far as floating while holding the hand rail or ‘bobbing’ in the shallow end. I still have fond memories of learning to pick my nose clip off the bottom of the pool or sinking in quick sand at the beach – but most of my childhood swimming memories end in tears. I am nearly 3 months pregnant and vow to teach my little one to swim from an early age. I feel I’ve missed out now, and dipping my toes in a blow up kiddie pool is as close as I will get from now on…
Angie D says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!…..or not…deep water terrifies me…never been able to get over it…but I do love to sit on the beach with a cool beverage and a good book.
Elsa-Maija says
Let’s go swimming!!! I love swimming :)
Dorette says
Let’s go swimming! With the new house, we inherited a pool. Initially we considered it to be a negative to the house, but the first summer proved us wrong! Two years on – both our kids (and us) really enjoy the pool – yeah for sunny South African weather! We actually swim for 7-8 months of the year :-)
Lisa says
Let’s go swimming!
We love having a pool and teaching our kids how to swim this Summer will be so much fun!
Molly Crowley says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I can’t do the crawl, but I like a lazy backstroke or breaststroke. Even better: sitting at the pool’s edge with an umbrella drink.
Kristen says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming! More just for fun than swimming laps!
Jen says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I live near a bay which features a volcano which is ominous but also gorgeous, and it is such a pleasure to swim around it- when it’s not spewing ash!
And yay! for an international giveaway!

Tanya says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I adore swimming so much that I’m currently putting myself through the financial pain and renovation stress of installing a pool of our own. The back yard looks like a disaster zone but it will be all worth it in the end. xx
Mary says
Let’s Go Swimming!! Only if we are going to play a game of Dibble Dabble!. Otherwise I would rather be sittin’ poolside sippin’ on an ice cold drink!

LET’S GO SWIMMING . I do love to swim, although I prefer pools over oceans because I’m scared of sharks :)
Stacey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! In Durban, RSA, humid summer temperatures reach the Forties (Celcius). Almost all homes have a pool and if not the beach is only 20min away wherever you live! We all love the water!
One of my favourite pool memories is quite recent. It was a particularly uncomfortable day in February – too hot to move. So my mom and I stood in the pool in the shade of an overhanging tree. She read the paper laid out on the paved surround while I did some beading!
Steph says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

let’s go swimming!
omg. i am a water baby – always have been. i spent my formative years in florida, and all i did was swim. still love it, though i don’t have the muscle strength to do it as long as i want. basically, i feel like a jellyfish long before i’m ready to get out. i’m hoping to instill the same thing in my 5 year old this summer, when she gets swimming lessons and a summer at grandma and grandpa’s with the pool.
Amy says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!!” LOVE THESE PRINTS – THEY REMIND ME OF MY YOUTH & THE GREAT TIMES SWIMMING ON A SWIM TEAM!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Yay, finally a worldwide giveaway! I love swimming, be it in a pool or in the ocean!
Terri says
Lets Go Swimming! My 12 year old son has been teaching me to swim the last couple of months. He is very patient and kind and always cheers me on when I try to go from one end of the pool to the other. It is helping me get over my fear of water while making a wonderful memory.
dawn says
Let’s go swimming!
We take our baby for a swim every Friday afternoon. He loves it and it’s worth working longer hours on the other days of the week to make it happen.
Sarah Heppner says
Let’s Go Swimming!!! Me and my 2 boys(almost 2 and almost 9) are at the pool twice a week every week:)

“LET’S GO SWIMMING”
Love the beach but more of a municipal swimming pool girl now.
Maggie says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” I’ve always been like a fish in the water. I thought I knew how to swim until I joined the swim club in college and learned the right technique. It is a challenging but great sport.
giota says
I live in greece so the sea is just “around the corner”.I just love swimming in the sea.Not so much in the pool
Jessica says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I loved swimming in lakes as a kid…although these days a nice clear pool is much more appealing.
