Swimming Trip

Dear users, dear authors,
make the most of the summer temperatures, the sunny days and the summertime for swimming, for the garden, the park, for outings and everything outdoors that is the most fun. The dreary, cold and wet fall and the frosty winter will swallow up the sun soon enough.
You'll find suitable patterns here in this thread. Get started now before summer is over.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author with the usual info + link + image are enough.
Good luck.
