Mermaid Swimming Lessons For Kids and Adults
Swimming and Diving Skills with a Monofin
What is Mermaid Swimming?
Mermaid swimming is a unique and novel approach to the water which uses a monofin or fishtail (worn on the legs or feet) to simulate the way mermaids swim.
Why Mermaid Swimming?
Mermaid swimming is a whole-body and brain workout with an extra dose of fun and creativity. Wearing a monofin enhances your power and athleticism as you glide through the water, while challenging you to use your body in new ways. You will learn to engage your core, legs and spine in undulating motions on your front, back and sides—enhancing your coordination and range of motion.
Mermaid swimming also helps you become more sensitive and responsive to the water. Like a mermaid, you will learn to streamline your movements in order to gain acceleration and reduce drag. If you are keen on swimming in open water, learning diving skills, or finding new ways to enjoy being in the water—Mermaid Swimming is for you.
Where is Mermaid Swimming done?
Mermaids are of course ocean creatures, but Mermaid Swimming can be done in the pool too. Our programs are progressive: we start in a shallow pool to build basic skills, then progress to deep pool and learn diving skills, before going into open water.
Who is Mermaid Swimming for?
Mermaid Swimming is suitable for children aged 6+ and adults. It is best for those who are confident swimmers, but if you can’t swim yet, you can work your way through our other programs before joining Mermaid Swimming. All the skills you learn in Mermaid Swimming will support and enhance your overall swim capabilities.
And don’t let the name fool you—both males and females can join!
