Hello fellow Merfolk!

My name is Elliot and I'm a swimming teacher from the UK. I recently went on a freediving holiday where I also did a short mermaid/merman course and loved it. I have always loved the water and the underwater world. After swimming a fair bit of butterfly in lessons, leisure and fitness sessions, I found myself at home with a monofin. Being in the swimming industry, my pool have been supportive in letting me practice in the pool with static and dynamic breath holds and monofin swimming, but only when it's quiet which is difficult to predict.

I've been swim teaching for 6 years, practicing lifeguarding for 14 years and recently graduated in Motorsport Engineering, not your everyday mix of qualifications. I have also recently started working for a company which conducts mermaid parties, and have just finished my own fabric tail.

Hi there Elliot! Sounds like you went on the holiday I was hoping to attend but ended up enrolling in college! Nice to meet not only a UK mer but also a fellow teacher ^_^
