Mermaid Basic Certification (Ages 5+)

Whether your child wants to imagine becoming a mermaid, or wants to try a mermaid tail to see what it’s like, mermaid certification classes are a great introduction. The mermaid basic certification teaches swimmers how to care for their tail, and how to safely swim with a mermaid tail. Class will incorporate fun activities (i.e. swimming through hula hoops, swimming on back, learning safety techniques) to certify your child as a mermaid. Mermaid tail not provided. You may either rent or purchase one from Aquatics, or bring your own.
