Aquamermaid School is coming to Edmonton this fall, and you are going to be able to register for the popular classes, where kids and adults alike, can learn to be glide like a mermaid through the water, at Don Wheaton YMCA.
In The Little Mermaid, Ariel yearns for a pair of human legs. But that was just a fairy tale—in real life, everyone yearns for a mermaid tail. At AquaMermaid School, dreams can come true, as human swimmers—adults and kids alike—transform into shimmering, graceful mermaids with the help of artificial tails complete with colorful scales and broad, delicate fins. Before they can glide through the water, though, students have to learn how to swim with the apparatus. During classes or parties, instructors progress from basic tail-swimming lessons to advanced techniques such as underwater choreography. Many times, a course or birthday bash will conclude with a photoshoot, so mermaids can immortalize their new moves and prove their mermaid pedigrees to skeptical seagulls.
Classes are taught wearing a monofin, a spandex mermaid tail, and children learn how manouver safely through the water and learn a new skill with every class. Designed for children between the ages of 7-13, with 14+ classes available, the class fees include the cost of the rental tail.
We’re excited to try it – and even more excited about the prospect of underwater, mermaid-themed birthday parties.
