LET’S GO SWIMMING…
I’m am a water lover! Always have been. One summer, my husband trained for a triatholon and we would often swim laps together at our local YMCA. He oftens recounts occasions where he would be swimming his laps, passing me in the water each time, and then he would quit passing me. Each time he would frantically look around for me only to find me doing hand-stands in the shallow end or diving for change in the deep end. I, in fact, turn into a child when I get into the water. Can’t wait to get my 5 month old into the pool for her first time this summer!

I love swimming. I do laps around the pool, dive, and, I like to just splash around, and be lazy. (since most of my friends like doing that — I seem to be the only one who likes to do laps)
Andrea says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to be in the pool. I may swim a few laps for kicks. :) My husband would just tell you he sinks. Maybe it’s because he has no fat on him. Ha!

My daughter and I spend a lot of time in the summer at my parent’s house using their pool.
Tammy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I would love to win one of these! Ever since you posted, I have been obsessed with Samantha’s work! I love the ocean and the pool, but I find I like entering the water less and less. However, sitting in the shade of my umbrella at the beach and watching my kids splash in the ocean is an ideal day.
Matt says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Though I really just like the art, not so much actual water. Except in the shower. Showers are good.
Emily says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! My husband and I luuuuv to swim… in the pool or the ocean. Splashing around, swimming laps, or surfing. We love the water. And we started our little nugget in swimming lessons at 6 months, so hopefully he’ll love it too!
Kara says
LET’S GO SWIMMING….I love swimming, but don’t do it took much. I’m moving to Dallas, though, so should probably frequent the pool more!
Erin says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water and recently moved my family to a beach town so I can see at least a glimpse of water every day. My son just started swim lessons and there is nothing cuter than seeing his wet little face emerge from the water with a huge grin.
Alice says
Let’s go swimming!
I love swimming under pretty much all circumstances, but especially at my family cottage!
Sherri says
“Let’s go swimming!” I like relaxing in the pool with my children in the summers, and I love the beach, but I wasn’t that girl on the swim team in high school, and you never would have found me on the high-dive. ;)
Katie Monty says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Yes…floating mostly! :)

LET’S GO SWIMMING! Yup, I swim almost everyday at the Y. Water aerobics, swimming, anything in water, I’m up for it!
amyks says
Let’s go swimming!
I am a swimmer, not a very good one, but I love to be in the water. As my youngest daughter said when she was 4 “I’m a water baby because I was born in the summer”…I, too, am a summer water “baby” :)
Alison says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING” We live 2 blocks from the beach, so in the summers I take the kids down to the beach and then when my husband comes home from work we go for another dip! Beach bums!
lesley says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I love to swim laps, do turns, do somersaults, do splitz upside down like a synchro swimmer, jump in the waves, and swim along the bottom. Sometimes I think I ought to have been born a dolphin and not a human because I love the water. It brings me peace and calm when I have stress. I love to be IN the water whenever I can.
sarah d says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I am so excited for summer to come to hit the beach.
Jennifer says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I LOVE to swim!
