Hello, I'm Aurora! That's both my real name and my mermaid name. Though I like the idea of making a slightly darker mermaid alter-ego, a sea witch perhaps. All in good time I guess.
I'm still fairly new to the mermaiding thing, but despite that, I've actually been teaching mermaid classes for the past 7 months or so with the Canadian company Aquamermaid. I've recently resigned from that position for a number of reasons however, and am looking to do it recreationally for now. My background is in competitive swimming, and I used to teach kids through my swim team.
I've always had an affinity for fantasy (LOTR anyone?), and when I found out swimmable tails were a thing I latched on to the mermaid idea hard. I'm an artist with a penchant for wearable art and costumes, so it's a perfect fit! I'm signing up for a freediving class soon, saving for a good monofin, and planning my first tail! If there are any Toronto area mermaids checking this out, feel free to message me. I look forward to getting to know the community. :)
