Hey Mers!
So, I was hanging out at the empty pool at my apartment complex today, and since the weather is getting awfully nice I thought the pool could use much improvement with some mer-folk about it. I haven't finished my tail yet, and I doubt I'm even close, but I figured I'd at least gauge interest towards a meetup.
The pool is in my apartment complex (Soma Square) in San Francisco, and it's often empty of residents! As long as I'm there and you're my guests, you can swim as long as you like. There's also a small hot tub to the side of the pool, but it looks like this:
28268 2826928270
There's a changing space/bathroom/shower as well.
So! Anyone interested in a mer-swim meetup? :)

I just moved to the area, and I would love to meet some more local merfolk!!
Not sure if I already missed this one, but there's a pool at my apartment complex in San Jose as well if we need alternate locations. I'm fairly certain its a bit smaller than yours though. :)

I'm interested! I'm in the South Bay, but always willing to make the drive to hang with fellow mers.

Hi Aquatic Raider, welcome to the area! I'm in San Jose too, and swim at the San Jose State University pool. It's a BIG pool and they are ok with mermaids! So if you want something a bit more local for regular swims with more room, it may be an option(?).
I'll be planning a mer meetup there sometime in July :)

Hallo! I'm VERY new at this and just moved to Concord. I recently got my Mahina Mermaid monofin and I'm DYING to try it out! I've never swam with a monofin before! So I'm kind of nervous... But hey... I have to start somewhere, right? So anyone here meeting up soon so I can join you experienced merfolk and learn from you guys?

Oh cool! I'll try go to that. So is it ok for me to come with just a monofin and not an actual tail? Also, any more details about this swim? What time and all that?

Hi Mermaidnereida ;)
Welcome! As PhaylennMuruch and Mermaidofthelabyrinth mentioned and linked to (thanks ladies!), I'm hosting the San Jose meet up, and it would be wonderful to see you there. Also, tails and fins are welcome but not a requirement to swim with us, anything goes!
Looking forward to meeting you xoxox

It was fin-tastic! We were limited to two lanes, but they were wide and relatively deep. The pool staff and the other swimmers were really nice and interested in what we were doing. The pool water was great!! Very low chlorine and a little salt. It was nice not to have all my gear reeking of chlorine on the drive home. It was so kind of Freyja to organize this for us. Hope she does it again soon and you can make it :)
