true4uca, I am not sure where on the Island you live and which are your local quilt shops. I am in the Cowichan Valley.
When I was in Parksville picking up the Row by Row kit, I noticed that they have lots of beach theme fabrics. I did not look too closely, but they may have something more closely related to swimming.
I will be heading up Island midweek to pick up some more row by rows, I will ask about swimming related fabrics for you.
