Freshwater and River Swimming

[Raquel Skellington]

Hello everyone!!

I've tried searching on the forums for some answers on this but I couldn't exactly find anything..

I'm getting my first tail ever from Tiggs Tails and what I mainly got it for was an weeklong LARP event in August called Bicolline.
Some info:
http://www.larping.org/feat/bicolline-great-battle/#
http://thevoyagenorth.com/
(The Main Bicolline site is in french but reads well with a google translate plugin) http://www.bicolline.org/v2/

It's a big fantasy LARP in Canada and I'm going to be an elf/changeling.
Now that means I'm going to be kickin it for 7 days medieval style- So no power or modern amenities (unless you wanna pay extra)

I plan on almost every day swimming in the large river with my tail. It doesn't have a super strong current or anything and has been cleared for swimming, the water is sparkling clear.
I wanted some tips on freshwater swiming/care tips/ fun recommendations!

Thanks Guys! :pearl::dance:

Bring a yoga mat to change into your tail on. You'll need to do it close to the water so you can roll in. If not you'll need a second or third person to help bring you into the water.

and like ten towels. And a fresh change of undergarments.

[SeaGlass Siren]

And do not forget water based lube

Lucky for me the camp is not even a 2 minute walk from the River!:)
I do have a merwrangler that will be carrying me to and fro! A Yoga mat is also a great idea! I can use that in the tent.
Do you also have any brand recommendations for water based lube? Though I figure a good google search might answer my question too haha...

[Triton-Mahtlinnie]

I'm fond of J Lube myself. Comes as a powder that is mixed with water. One bottle of powder = 6 gallons of lube.

woah just looked on amazon! you can get a TON of that stuff~ Thanks for the recommendation

[Triton-Mahtlinnie]

Haha, yeah. I'm only halfway through my bottle of J-lube powder, and it's been two years!

It's also nice because you can mix it in whatever container you want. (I use an empty bodywash bottle. Less conspicuous in public)

[Mermaid Wesley]

Even though the river is relatively safe, don't swim unsupervised. Make sure your 'tender can save you if need be.



Being a comb so you can sit on the riverbank combing your hair. Learn some sea shanties to sing while combing your hair.

bring sewing supplies, extra mer-tops, etcetera. What can go wrong will go wrong with your tops. In an emergency remember that you can wear a medieval-appropriate shirt and your tail and still look awesome.

Have fun and tell us all about it!

OH! singing thats right I should get better at that haha! I'm going to try and have atleast three types of tops made JUST IN CASE~ Any recommended care tips?

[MermaidRaegan]

Wipe out your tail really well in case of plant spores in the river. I do most of my swimming in a river and I love it, but even with a slow current expect to spend a lot of time trying to not float away. XD also I would recommend getting a spray bottle of silicone cleaner since you can't rinse your tail to clean it.
