Have you ever dreamed of being a Mermaid or Merman?

At our Merfolk Academy we will make that dream come true. We start our Merfolk-in-training with basic swimming skills before transitioning into the monofin. Children will work with an expert mermaid instructor to learn safe fin use and how to swim with a mermaid tail. As you get used to swimming with a tail get ready for a variety of fun games and challenges.

The cost will be $27.80 per student; Merfolk tails and monofin are provided. Space is limited to 10 participants and mermaid tail size.
Participants must be able to swim 12 yards without stopping, being able to float on their front or back before registering for the academy.
