Whether it's swimming, diving, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, rafting, skiing, standup-paddleboarding, or just staying hydrated while you participate in a more land-lubber-y activity, this month we're celebrating wonderful, glorious H2O and all the activities that make use of it. 

And we want you to join in. 

So we've got a challenge for you: Post accomplishments with the hashtag #GotWater to tell us how you live like it counts with, in, near, under, or around water. Every day in July, someone who has used the tag will win a cool refillable water bottle from Athena Water! And then, at the end of each week, we'll pick a Super Winner to receive a month's supply of bottled water, as well as other assorted prizes like autographed books from US swimming Olympic Gold medalist Amanda Beard! 

We'll also be doing interviews with inspirational aquatic athletes, featuring water-related Rewards and appropriately aqueous Teams, and issuing some fittingly fluid challenges, so stay tuned! 

One final note: If you're not already familiar with Athena Water, get with the times, people! They are the bottled water that was created for the cause—to end breast cancer forever! A portion of all of their profits go to support the American Cancer Society and other organizations that support their mission. With a product that's good for you, good tasting, and benefitting a great cause, how can you say no? Look for them online, or at one of your local retailers.

Notes on the contest: 

You can create as many posts with #GotWater as you want.

Posts with pictures are definitely encouraged, but not absolutely necessary

We're also partial to posts shared in Teams... so, consider joining the Paddle Power Team, or the LKtrihard Team, or the Dory Swimming Wannabes Team!
