Let’s go Swimming!
I am not the world’s strongest swimmer but I do enjoy it! Especially scuba diving and snorkeling.
Lauren says

Nora says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to lay out instead of swim!
Jessica Kish says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I swam on swim team all four years of high school and I loved it. I still love swimming, but with no public pools in this area, I don’t ever get the chance to swim. :(
Melissa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I like swimming more now that I have a 2year old that loves the water!
Michelle says
Lets go swimming!!! I actually feel more at home underwater than I do on land. I swam competitively for years and it is still by far my favorite form of exercise. I always say that underwater is “my happy place”… I even go there in my mind when I have to endure something painful. Pool, lake, ocean, doesn’t matter! Just call me a fishie!
Tracey Bartula says
Let’s go SWIMMING! I love love love the water…swimming laps to work out, going to the beach, or just watching the waves flow! Maybe not putting on a swimsuit, but I quickly forget how awkward I look when I put my feet in that water! Katie Perry says it well!
Melanie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the water. I was a lifeguard/swimming instructor all through high school and university. I love anything to do with water :)
Jasmine says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Yup, poolside, sunshine and a fruity drink I’m pretty much in heaven.
Monika says
LET’S GO SWIMMING. I love swimming :)
Angi says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I used to *hate* swimming…but then I worked really hard and lost 30-35 pounds (depending on the day, haha) and now I don’t mind it so much. Pretty amazing how much more fun swimming is when you’re not CONSTANTLY worried about your appearance!!
Jim says
Let’s go swimming – can never get too much of the water
Casey says
LETS GO SWIMMING!
I had a pool growing up, but you were more likely to find me floating on a raft with a cold drink than actually IN the water!
Marcie says
Let’s go swimming!! I should have been a fish, I LOVE the water!
Janice says
LET’S GO SWIMMING.
Actually, I hate the water. Spent my summers groing up at the beach, but somwhere along the way I stopped loving the water and now have no interest in it. Haven’t owned a bathing suit in at least 20 years.
Ashley G says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water and wish we lived closer to it!
janetl says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I swam in high school and now as a seldom-seeing the pool, adult, getting in the pool always makes me nostalgic for those years.
Christina Campbell says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I am meh about water – I had to teach myself to swim and needless to say, I am not the most graceful of fishies! I do love the ocean though, everything about it is calming, except for the sand that goes, EVERYWHERE!
Chambrel says
LETS GO SWIMMING!! I grew up on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, but always preferred the pool. I like being able to see what is in the water with me!
Jen says
Let’s go swimming!
I love pools, lakes, oceans- any water :)
My favorite is packing a bunch of coolers, then heading to the James for an afternoon of fun in the sun with friends, listening to music, tubing, and wakeboarding! With sunscreen, of course
Lauren Watson says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the water! I’m all about summer because it means pool and beach time. This year I’ll be sporting a little baby bump so I’m kind of extra excited that it will be nice to float in the water the farther along I get for less stress on my joints.
Nicole Grove says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
I looooove swimming! My parents took me to waterbabies when I was 5 or 6 months old, and I’ve been swimming ever since!

Let’s go swimming!
Did you know the french word for “to sunbathe” is “lézarder” which, in English, literally, would mean “to lizard!” I love it!!

Pia says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Watching my 4 year old swim while I lounge poolside with my 1 year old is the best. Can’t wait to splash in the baby beach in Maui this summer with both!
gabrielle says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim especially in the ocean. This can be difficult since I live in the Midwest though. I’m envious of your trip to Hawaii!
Devin says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love swimming, but since I moved out of Florida, I long for the abundant backyard swimming pools. Community Pools just don’t compare.
