Mermaid Experience

This 2-hour Mermaid Experience will give any human, whether young or old, male or female the opportunity to become a mermaid or merman. During this session, a trained mermaid instructor will teach how to put the tail on and to take if off again along with some basic movements in the water and mermaid fun and games. There will be time during the class for self-exploration and games, including diving for treasures at the bottom of the deep end.

Once a mermaid or merman is comfortable using the tails, a certification will be given. Certification earned will allow swimmer to use tails during any evening. Only certified mermaids will be allowed to use mermaid fins and tails during public swim time. Classes may be cancelled due to lack of registration.
