Katie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to go to the pool/beach, but usually just take quick dips if it’s really hot and then get back out and read a book.
Ange says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I don’t know how to swim properly, but I do a mean dog paddle :)
Jo @ Let's Face the Music says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!I come from a long line of very good swimmers. I love to swim and once I’m in the water it’s difficult for me to get out until I’m shriveled like a prune. And I do love these prints; they capture the watery aspect very well. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
Martha says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! To say I was not a good swimmer as a child would be an understatement. I don’t swim, I sink. As an adult I’ve come to appreciate the water more and more, and I adored snorkeling in Maui when we were there three years ago in March.

I love to swim, and I also love to scuba dive!
Milui says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
… or not. As my sight grew worse and worse, my love for spending time in the water declined. :/ But as a child I loved swimming and diving.
Whitney says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I don’t discriminate when it comes to anything water related… swimming laps, splashing around, surfing, scuba diving, drinking fruity drinks in the sun beside the pool… I think I was a mermaid in another life :)

LETS GO SWIMMING! I’m a 28 year old who doesn’t know how to swim!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I absolutely love being in the water. The ocean is my favorite. I will always live on a coast because I need to be a daytrip away from a swim in the ocean!
Heather B. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m a swimmer… which is appropriate since my maiden name was Seals. I even swam in college for the ferocious Campbell Camels!
Devon says
I’m a total pool rat. I’m there all summer long gettin’ my tan on! Now I have a 2 year old to take along with me and she loves it more than I do!

Lets go swimming!!! I like to splash around in the pool with my daught :)
Tara says
Let’s go swimming!!
I used to always think I was a “great swimmer.” And then, when my now husband was just my boyfriend, he took me swimming and noted that (a) I can’t dive. (b) I don’t put my face in the water when I swim laps. and (c) when I try to swim underwater, I just float to the top. But I can tread water for hours. Seriously. I won a contest in college. So there.

Shannon Hinkle says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
I love the water! Particularly the ocean. I’m more of the splash around/lounge around the water type. Gimme a tropical cocktail by the pool or the beach and I’m a happy girl!

Sarah Jane says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Each year growing up, I’d look forward to holidays and birthdays and such, but my favorite yearly event was the first swim in the river every spring. You’d know the day when it came– the first day that it got all hot and sticky, and all you could think about at school was getting home and jumping off a dock into the cool river. It was the best!
Shannon says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I think the pool is the only way to make it through a Richmond summer. You can find me there everyday after work, enjoying a watermelon beer!
Michele says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I’m a fish and can’t wait for the pools to open up!
Jordan Rapp says
