Mermaid Swimming Program

Learning to swim in a Mermaid tail is both an enjoyable way to show your creative side and a healthy way to work out. Mermaid swimming has been gaining popularity a lot recently thanks to new fish-fin costumes and tails. So, if you’ve ever wanted to escape into the world of seashells, colourful tails and tales of beauty from the blue – now you can.

Swimming is one of the best exercises one can do and doing that with a tail and underwater is an additional challenge for swimmers. Mermaid swimming is a serious activity where one has to use core muscles and hips to create a “dolphin kick” movement under water, imitating the swimming action of a dolphin. By using a ‘mono-fin’ which is similar to scuba fins, but, both feet are inserted into one large fin or flipper to replicate the tail of a mermaid. Mermaid swimming can be a high intensity workout as its both a cardio and strength training and tones up your abs, thighs and glutes in addition to the normal upper body and arms.
