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!

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!

Course Standards

Mermaid tryout is not a certified course, but an introductory experience.

Making Mermaids courses are instructed by Fiona Ayerst (Mermaid Fi). A 30-year PADI Scuba Instructor and a PADI Mermaid Instructor – Meet Mermaid Fi

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.
