We’re swimmers and our club pool is just about to open for the season! Yay! I’m envisioning lap swimming, warm sunny days, cold drinks, friends & family, bbqs, reading poolside, and lots of fun. I would love to have an awesome portrait like this in my home to remind me!

Except that, I don’t know how. :(
Samantha H. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!! I was a distance swimmer in high school and swam with a recreational league in college. When I was little I wanted to grow up to be a mermaid :) I just love being in and around the water!
Caitlin says

Elizabeth says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim! If I could I would live in a boat! :D Cant wait to get in the water….only a few more months. Although, in Ohio we have had an unusually warm winter.
Lisa says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim, especially in the lake or the ocean.
Kirsten says
Let’s go swimming!
We’re water people for sure. We named our daughter Naiya to represent water (funny enough she’s an aquarius). Dad’s a clearance diver for the Navy, and I come from a long line of competitive swimmers (my uncle won 2 bronze for butterfly in a 70s Olympics, my aunt was the first woman to emerge from the water in a 1980s Ironman Hawaii). My mom and I were both springboard divers, my Gran was a synchronized swimmer. My Grandfather coached them all.
Lindsay says
Let’s Go Swimming! Totally a water girl – love to splash and swim in a pool, on the beach, in a lake. If there’s water, I want to be in it.

LETS GO SWIMMING! I’m not one for swimming laps, but I love floating around in the pool on a hot summer day – the perfect way to cool off!
Jessica says
Let’s Go Swimming!
I love doing all of the above. I spend most of my summer splashing in the pool.

Water= awesome! I love floating. It is nice to feel weightless.

Georgia says
Let’s go swimming! The pool is our life in the summer! Nothing makes my 9 year old any happier than spending lots of time in the water with friends.
Allison says
Let’s go swimming! I love the water but don’t swim as much now as I did as a kid.
Emily says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love, love, love these prints. Samantha’s shop is one of the first I set to favorites when I joined Etsy but I never seem to have the dough to get the piece I want (my absolute favorites are Slow Breathing and Three Feet Below). I’ve always loved swimming. My sisters and I spent most of our childhood summers in a pool in Texas. My Dad always said it was our best babysitter since we never left it!
Thanks so much for the opportunity!
Emily

Let’s Go Swimming!
The perk of being a YMCA member, indoor pool to splash around in all year long!
Cami says
Let’s GO SWIMMING!
I was a swimmer growing up and embraced one of the most difficult strokes – the butterfly! I love getting in the pool with my kids now to splash around and teach them to swim. I hope they’ll have the same love for the water that I do!

LET’S GO SWIMMING! I like to swim, but I can’t wait to take my little man swimming this summer! :)
Heather says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m usually a lounger when it comes to getting in the pool. Then I immediately go home and take a nap because being in the water just wipes me out. . . even though I’m not really doing anything. lol
