I love to swim, I can’t wait for it to warm up enough to use our pool!
Alie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Unfortunately, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve started being afraid of going in natural water (oceans, lakes, rivers…) but I love cooling off in pools.
Erica Marsh says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
We bought a new house with a pool last fall and I’m just waiting for the water to warm up enough for our first swim of the year!!!

Abby Hugill says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
I’ve been a swimmer since I was a little kid. I still enjoy swimming laps as exercise, and am training for a triathlon now.
Kristin Livesay says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I LOVE to swim. I was a competitive swimmer for almost 10 years, and continued to swim laps in college for exercise and endorphins. Throughout my whole pregnancy with my little girl (now 10 months) I swam three mornings a week just to feel weightless. Although, there was nothing “streamline” about swimming 8 months pregnant! Taking the little one swimming ASAP! WE LOVE THE WATER!!

I had a near-drowning incident so I’m super nervous in water nowadays.. :P As long as there aren’t waves and I can touch the bottom, I’m okay.

Sarah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! love love love to swim. was on the swim team as a kid. still remember the feeling of getting first place in the backstroke in 3rd grade. had a pool in my back yard at home that i’d practice in just about everyday each summer. i don’t get into a pool much anymore, but last week in the Bahamas, get plenty of ocean water time :)

Let’s Go Swimming!
And by that I mean an awkward swimming style that resembles a dog, a frog, and something close to the breast stroke.

Joan says
Let’s go swimming. No longer a swimmer. More of a shade lounger.

LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I wish I had my own pool but for now driving 45 minutes to my mom’s awesome pool works for us! Can’t wait til it’s open for the summer :)

Lisa Riley says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!
Chesley says
I am a swimmer, a total fish out of water! I love splishing and splashing and watching my young daughter learn to love the water is very special indeed. I don’t swim in the Atlantic Ocean until late July/August because I like it to fee like bathwater. I am looking forward to beach and pool time with my little one this summer!
Ellen says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Kids love the pool so we go, though it’s not relaxing. I’d love to go and just lounge on a float.
Erin says

And yes, I adore swimming pools. My sister moved into a house last spring with a pool which we get to frequent nearly every weekend. Planning to teach my water-loving 20 month old boy to swim this summer.
Victoria says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
When I was a kid, my parents took us to the lake all summer long (15 minutes to the lake)! Since Moving to another province and marrying a non-beach lover, it has been a couple years since I dipped in a lake. I hope to take the kids to the beach this year and possibly swimming lessons!
Cheryl says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the water – I love swimming – I love swimming in the ocean too. I feel that I am destined to leave on a beach somewhere with a pool too. Dreaming big. :)
