Cannonball all the way!
I'm going to have to go with swan dive, anything to make myself appear a little more graceful!
I prefer the boisterous cannon ball
I love Kate Spade!!!
I like to jump straight down, touch the bottom and power up!
Oh, who am I kidding. The biggest, most obnoxious cannonball ever!
I attempt to do a swan dive, but it usually looks more like a cannonball!
Thanks for this giveaway!

Cannon ball all the way! When I was younger, it always shocked everyone to see this miss priss girl (me) jump in the water like that. Now I do it to get a laugh out of my babies

Cannonball for sure. All or nothing.
If I won this giveaway, I would celebrate the win with a cannonball! And today's my birthday so this would be just be a wonderful present that would absolutely make my day
Cannon ball!!
Cute giveaway! i personally always dive in even though it's probably not totally safe.
tohellinahandbag@yahoo.com
Great contest Piece of Toast! I'd have to say I would do something between a swan dive AND a cannonball. Start as a swan dive but then end in a cannonball…. xx!!
Cannonball!!!

To plunge head first! I love Kate Spade!
if you're gonna make a splash, why not go all out!
I'm definitely a swan dive girl! So excited for this giveaway
Definitely a back-flip!
What an amazing giveaway, I saw the nail polishes last time I was in the store and I am loving the new Florence Boradhurst for Kate Spade collection.
Happy almost long weekend girls!
XX,
Kirby
I love that video – watched it a few different ways. I'm a cannonball girl – I would mess up the dive and look like anything but a swan
A graceful swan dive!
Cannonball! Why not make a splash, am I right?
Thanks for the chance to win! xx
CANNONBALL… splash!
Cannonball, definitely.
Super-fun giveaway! Def a cannonball kind of gal!

Swan Dive!
I'd like to say I'm a swan diver, but a cannon ball is just so satisfying…
Cannon Ball dive for sure! While it may not look as classy, but it's way more fun!!
Cannonball!!!
Cannonball! The kids love being splashed by their big mama! XO
Cannon ball!!

love these essentials! pools are best slipped into one body part at a time. jumping in feet first and plunging to the bottom also works well on hot days.
Cannon ball all summer!
Shannon (spm2130@columbia.edu)
Swan dive for sure! Love your blog and Kate Spade!
I'm a slow getter in… No cannonball or swan dive for me!
swan dive all the way. how cute is this video??
My email is attached above – and I am a pool diver. I love to dive. I love the feeling of cutting through the water. But when my husband is around I cannon ball just to get him wet!
super cute stuff! i want it all! and i like to either gently wade in or just jump, no style needed
Swan dive for me!
I'd do a swan dive right through that Flo Bro floatie!
Cannonball. Dives usually turn into a painful body slam.
I love just running off the diving board and just jumping in. I hate cold water and sometimes it's just too chilly for me to walk in!
http://www.peppermintsandpixiedust.blogspot.com
Cannonball, definitely got to make a splash!

IS there a better way??

I slowly get in. The water is always cold to me! I love Kate Spade and all the fun summer stuff they have!
I'm more of a swan dive person myself but I also enjoy the occasional back flip to impress the house
Dive!
Cannonball!
Definitely a swan dive. Thanks for the chance to win!
Valerie–vmdye@indiana.edu
That is such a fun video! I usually try to swan dive, but it ends up looking more like a belly flop… Thanks for the giveaway!
I usually run and jump off our dock at our Lake in Minnesota, but due to a recent knee surgery I will have to wade my way in slowly this summer. The float ring might help!!
The way I get in depends on how hot it is. If it's bearable, I usually wimp out and stick by the stairs and inch in verrrry slow. But (and this is my favorite way) if it's really hot and I've been laying out so long that I can't stand it anymore, I'll get a running start and cannonball in! It just feels so good to go from pre-heat stroke to refreshed! I also like to try and stay under as long as I can after jumping in just to make that moment last
Cannonball for sure! Wonderful giveaway- love Kate Spade!!
No big splash for me! Jump in with a pencil dive!!!
I'm definitely a cannon ball kind of girl! annefinch.owens@gmail.com
Swan Dive! Love the rush you get from your head to your feet!
Love this giveaway!
Loren.Juziuk@gmail.com
It's already too hot in Texas. I would run and Cannonball right into the center to the nearest pool!

I don't often dive, but when I do, I prefer I prefer the pencil. On those crazy days, I will blast out a cannon though.
Cannonball for me! Helps me get into a pool with cold water.
Cannonball! So fun
Such a fun giveaway! I prefer the swan dive! xx

I like to run and jump! I screw up canon balls when I try to attempt, so I usually just play it safe! What a lovely giveaway!
Swan dive! Love the new collection.
Kate demands this type of attention…and always makes a splash!! C a n n o n b a l l ! My pool party however would have a different theme… Nautical, but nice… With all KS's preppy sassy style!
