Mermaid Swimming
Dolphin Academy are excited to be one of the very few swim schools to have their very own qualified Mermaid UK Instructor! The training completed is fully comprehensive to ensure a complete understanding of the movements, science, technique, and safety aspects of mermaid swimming. Parents and children can rest assured they will be taught by a professional Mermaid UK instructor with their programme, ensuring maximum enjoyment and safety.
Mermaid Swimming Classes
Swim classes will first cover how to safely put on their mermaid tail and then enter and exit the water before teaching breath holding, dolphin kick action, and progressing onto mermaid routines. The classes progress each lesson, teaching basic elements of synchronized swimming, teamwork, and core strength.
Not Just for Kids
We also offer mermaid lessons for adults who want to swim as a mermaid. They follow the same pattern as our child mermaid lessons, but you will be swimming with other like-minded adults who share your dream of becoming a mermaid!
For both classes, big and little mermaids and mermen must, however, fulfill the criteria below.
You will need to:
- Be at least 6 years old
- Be able to swim 25 meters comfortably
- Be able to submerge your face fully whilst swimming
- Be able to tread water in both shallow and deep water
- Be able to lift your knees and turn 360 degrees in both directions
- Be able to demonstrate a basic dolphin kick for 5 meters
Mermaid Birthday Parties
We would love to help make your child’s birthday party extra special with a full mermaid experience!
This would include a 45-minute session in the swimming pool with a qualified Mermaid UK instructor. The party will teach participants mermaid skills and movements, include mermaid games and mermaid poses, and offer underwater photographs to take away as a memory of their day!
We will also include (may vary by location) mermaid makeovers for after their pool session.
Mermaid Experiences
Our Mermaid Experiences are so much fun and include:
- 1 hour of Mermaiding
- Mermaid makeovers
- Underwater photos (subject to swimming ability)
- Dry-side photo shoots
- Invitation sent through the post
- Mermaid gift to take home
Not just for children… You can make your dream of being a mermaid come true at any age! We also offer private Adult Mermaid classes. To enquire or book, please drop us an email – [email protected]
