About the Experience
Dip a fin before you dive all in! Not sure if life with a tail is for you? Our Mermaid Tryout Session is the perfect splashy start to your mer-journey! Over two magical hours, you’ll get a taste of what it feels like to flip, glide, and shimmer like a real mermaid—all under the safe guidance of a certified mermaid instructor. This fin-tastic experience is open to all ocean souls—whether you’re a diver or non-diver, young or young-at-heart, mermaid or merman (or anything in between!). As long as you’re 6 years or older, in good physical health, and happy putting your lovely face in the water, you’re welcome to swish along. Come curious, leave sparkling. Who knows? You might just fall tail-over-teal for mermaiding!

Academic
The Mermaid tryout experience consists of two introductory phases:
- After arriving at the pool you will listen to a short briefing from your Mermaid Instructor to learn the basics of being a mermaid.
- In a shallow water session, you’ll wear a mermaid monofin and mermaid spandex leggings or lycra mermaid tail (depending on comfort in water), and depending on the situation, perhaps other additional mermaid costuming, followed by mermaid swimming, going underwater and games.
Equipment
In the Mermaid Tryout Experience, you’ll use a lightweight tail, monofin, spandex leggings or lycra mermaid tail (depending on comfort in water), mask, and snorkel. You may also wear a wet suit and weight belt if you prefer.
