PADI Mermaid Lessons
🧜♀ What Is a Mermaid Experience?
A Mermaid Experience is a magical, interactive session where participants get to feel like a real mermaid by swimming in a specially designed mermaid tail and monofin. These sessions take place in safe, controlled environments like swimming pools or shallow beach areas and are designed to be both enchanting and educational. Ideal for children, teens, and even adults, a mermaid experience combines fun, fitness, and fantasy — allowing participants to dive into their imagination while learning new skills in the water.
🌊 What’s Included in a Mermaid Experience?

The session begins with a warm welcome and an overview of mermaiding basics. Teneille (aka Mermaid Aquarius) provides clear safety guidelines, explains how the equipment works, and ensures everyone is comfortable before getting into the water.
2. Mermaid Equipment Provided
Each participant receives a monofin (a single fin that fits both feet) and a beautifully crafted mermaid tail, transforming them into a magical sea creature! Accessories and glitter are often included to complete the look.
3. Swimming Techniques & Movement
Participants are guided through basic mermaid swimming skills, including the signature dolphin kick, along with tips on how to move gracefully through the water. The session is supportive and paced to suit each swimmer’s ability.
4. Fun, Games & Magical Moments
Once the basics are covered, it’s time for play! Expect mermaid-themed games, water activities, and photo opportunities to capture the magical transformation. These moments are not only fun but also build confidence and camaraderie.
5. Safe, Supervised Environment
All experiences are held in a controlled, shallow water setting like a swimming pool or calm beach area, ensuring everyone feels safe and supported. Mermaid Teneille is a qualified PADI Mermaid Instructor and places safety and enjoyment at the heart of every session.
