Let’s go swimming!
Ive been a swimmer as long as I can remember! I grew up going to our neighborhood pool in the summers with my mom and splashing around while she and the older ladies in our neighborhood did water aerobics. Then we’d all lotion up and lay out to get our tan on! I was the darkest skinned 6 year old white girl! Haha good times.
Amy says
Let’s go swimming! Swimming has been one of my favorite outdoor activities since I was about 5 years old. I have a 12 year old lab who loves it as much as I do (and maybe more)!
Kesley says
LETS GO SWIMMING!
Not much of a swimmer outside of playing in the pool during the summer but I love that!
Krista D. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I do love the water – especially floating on top of it in a blow-up lounge chair with an adult beverage in my hand!
Arianna says
LET”S GO SWIMMING!!!!!
Growing up my parents teased me that I must be a mermaid who lost her tail. I was always in the water. I started on a team at 6 and didn’t stop until injury took me out of competing at 19. I was a lifeguard and still teach lessons occasionally. And still love the serenity that water brings to mind for me.
Elva says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! When I was a kid, I was a little fish. You couldn’t keep me out of the pool. Now, I enjoy a dip every now and again…I know exactly what I want to do with the GC though, if I win. I have a little friend Emma, who swims competitively, and I know that she would love to have one of these paintings in her room!!!
Carolyn says
LETS GO SWIMMING!!
I am definitely a swimmer! I lifeguard at a pool on my college’s campus and teach swim lessons to cute little kids!
Kristi says
I AM a swimmer. I love going to the pool, but mostly for a workout. An autoimmune disease gives me a bit of pain but the water workout totally helps. I may be young, but i’m not giving up yet! Thanks Samantha!

I avoid swimming but I do love the water, especially the way it looks in these paintings. I would LOVE to win!
Lauren says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!I love a pool. I took swimming lessons every summer as a kid and I loved every second. It’s a great way to spend time outside when it’s too hot to do anything else. (I live in SC) The way the sun sparkles on the water, the smell of chlorine (which I love), etc…….
Angela L says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Here in South Texas we officially opened our backyard pool this past Sunday! The water is still a little chilly, but the kids will brave anything for a dip!

Amy says
Lets go Swimming – I love the water! Not a great swimmer, but could spend an entire day just floating around!
Erika says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Water. Love to drink it. Love to sit by it – look at it, hear it’s movement… but I’m not so much of an in-the-water kind of girl. Maybe it’s because I can’t see without my glasses on… or because I’m not the best swimmer… or because I do NOT look good in a swimsuit. Let’s just sit by it and watch my four kids who think they are fish.
Pamela says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’ve always been part fish.
Megan W says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! But mostly i just like that it’s warm enough for swimming.
niki says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love to swim…mainly underwater…to see how many “laps” I can do in one breath.
Tess says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! While I am not the best swimmer, I find it really relaxing and a great way to cool down in the hot summertime.
Audrey says
LETS GO SWIMMING!!!
When I was little, I wanted to learn to swim. So my dad in his wisdom, told me I would know how to swim when I was 5 years old.
Well.. after blowing out the candles for my 5th birthday, I ran outside and jumped in the pool, nearly drowning.
When I managed to get out, I was PISSED at my dad saying “You told me I could swim!!!”,
and he replied “Well, you didn’t drown….”
TRUE STORY!!
Elle sees says

I’m more of a floater.
Lauren says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I was a swimmer and went to high school state a few times and now my sister swims at Purdue University! We loved the backyard pool we had growing up and I can’t wait to have my future kids try competitive swimming out for a sport. :)

I am most definitely a swimmer, and a splasher and a lounger.
Kate says
Let’s go swimming!! I love the water and lounging by the pool, the ocean, a lake, a river, whatever. Anything to be outside.

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I grew up swimming every day of the summer. Now it’s been 5 years since I put one a swim suit. I love Samantha’s art, as it reminds me of the good sweet days my childhood.

“LET’S GO SWIMMING!”
I can swim; however, I enjoy sitting by the pool while reading a book, and hopping in to cool off when it gets too hot.
Jenny says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! My mom said that I could swim before I could walk, a genuine fish baby! And now my son will stay in the pool (or a bathtub) as long as he’s allowed!
meg says
lets go swimming! I love the water, but hate the sun. I am a pale Irish girl, so I hide under long-sleeved coverups, umbrellas, spf 50, and hats. I even wear a hat in the water. But, I love to swim!
