Some of you might remember when I did mermaid makeup tutorials for my old channel, but when I remade, I wanted to try something different.

My videos center around a single word and the feelings surrounding it through swimming. They're a form of artistic expression for me, and I love making them.

Hope you'll swim by and take a look:

This is my channel! I'm by no means a professional and use a little $20 camera and Windows Movie Maker, but I love making these.

My videos are concepts centered around a single word, using music and various transition scenes to evoke a certain feeling.

Currently, I have 4 videos up as I don't swim very often: Stone, Memory, Endure, and Deliverance.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7EddKe4wwabA4ExfSjLXw

As silver dawn arises and the land is set to sleep,
The merfolk pursue ever on with promises to keep--

Water be steady, air be sure,
Follow your heart, but above all,
Endure.

So nervous sharing this on a big forum outside of the Discord server I'm a part of, but this is a clip of my third(?) time swimming in my Swimtails Sand Betta fin at a local pond with a friend as he became familiar with his new pair of bi-fins! He tried recording before on a previous swim, but it was too dark to pick up even my brighter custom-printed Fin Fun tail at the time, so we were really excited to be able to get out earlier in the day to do this.

At first when I got this tail I was dubious about if I really was going to enjoy it for the price I've paid, but after swimming several times both in a small pool, and in this pond easily a couple hours per swim (and about a mile's worth of swimming judging by the length of the pond), I've come to really appreciate how it moves. It does like to slip down my backside however, and I tend to prefer longer skins for that particular reason >_> While the tail skin likes to trap bubbles in the fluke, a couple of good hard kicks are usually sufficient to knock them out through the seams!


https://youtu.be/yD2CeUCkHB8

You can /kinda/ see the plants along the bottom of the pond that I skim over with each dive, and the fact that I bob up like a cork when I'm not pushing forward in the water! Startled plenty of fish, and confused a poor red-eared slider at one point looking for a resting log. Definitely not a pond I would attempt the fancier stunts in beyond the twisting dive I do a few times during the vid, because I don't think I want to be constantly snorting out pond gunk from my sinuses! Don't want to be swimming without goggles either due to what gets caught on tail and suit after each swim! I have a few recordings of a pool swim with this tail I will try to get together at some point into another vid.

All in all it's a fun tail, and a fun swim, but I'm definitely going to look into a slimmer fluke-skin for that Mahina for a more Nyoomy-nyoom mood when I want to zip around faster! In the meantime I'll probably use this fin more until my sequin tail is finished.

[Kwilena]

Thank you for sharing that, I always wondered how those lovely bettas looked like in the water. What a great demo! Lovely tail and a lovely demonstrator!

Well, I am a German mermaid and that's why my channel is completely in German. I realised that there are already so many English mermaid videos on YouTube so I thought it is maybe good to make German mermaid videos. Also because a lot of Germans still can't understand English. I do reviews, unboxings, swimming and performing videos. Basically everything mermaidy. 😁

Here is a pointer to an unusual mermaid video. It is long and filmed mostly deep underwater
in clear warm oceans with scuba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jiFYmxmk10


Two beautiful mermaids are diving in the South Pacific and the Caribbean - down to great depths. They are wearing full mermaid dive suits and standard SCUBA gear - except buoyancy compensators. It shows the elegance and practicality of combining the power of mermaid tails with SCUBA equipment - a combination which was long thought to be impractical. Far from being so! The tails give them great power and speed not possible with dual fins and a draggy BC. This is a one hour long documentary, showing a challenging deep wreck dive (start 29:48 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jiFYmxmk10&t=1788s)) very far from land, encounters with dolphins, sting rays, octopus, barracudas and many other animals, posing on beaches and even how to get back on a boat in a mermaid suit (it's not difficult). And at the very end it poses a puzzle for experienced sailors. Leave a comment if you figure it out!

[Mermaid Fina]

Nice video, quite impressive and all the animals were fantastic especially the dolphins. I liked it a lot. But for the final puzzle i'm far from an experimented sailor and have zero idea of the answer.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Notice that all of them are not undulating but kicking with their legs. And their "monofins" are two bifins together.

[johnleeex]

Yeap, these are two modified bi-fins (Cressi freediving fins) held side by side with a flexible plate. Much easier to transport on small planes flying to exotic islands!

Nice video, quite impressive and all the animals were fantastic especially the dolphins. I liked it a lot. But for the final puzzle i'm far from an experimented sailor and have zero idea of the answer.

Thanks for the kind words!
Well, nobody ever solved the nautical puzzle :-). I'll post the answer later this weekend..

[Mermaid Jaffa]

What's the propulsion like with the two bifins together?

[johnleeex]

Hi MM Jaffa,
the propulsion is excellent, because the bi-fins they used are very high quality Cressi freediving fins. I cut a piece of stiff epoxy fiberglass to round out the shape so that it would look like a proper mermaid fin when assembled and used 8 stainless steel screws and nuts to connect the fiberglass plate to the Cressi plates, plus a tiewrap holding the fins together near the foot pockets. Very simple and efficient. Oh, I also cast two ~ 1 lb lead weights to mount just in front of the toes to compensate for the buoyancy of the neoprene covering the fin assembly, so that it was about neutral. Once we got caught in a a current and I, with BC and normal dive gear could not make any headway. My wife (mermaid) just grabbed me by the tank and dragged me along, so powerful was her fin. best...

Cool! I had always thought bifins were weak substitutes for monofins.

[Echidna]

Cool! I had always thought bifins were weak substitutes for monofins.

no, many bifins have better propulsion than monofins. Depends on the length, and the type.

I think monofins are only favoured by mers because they hold up the fluke shape better, and are easier to learn dolphinkick with if you're not that good a swimmer.
Once I was in a lane with two dudes with bifins, they were just casually and lazily paddling along, but were just as fast as me with a Rapid on (although it should probably be called "Slowpoke" instead :p ), so yea bifins are pretty good unless you put a ton of trailing fabric around them, then a monofin's propulsion is probably better.

[johnleeex]

Hi Jaffa,
Basically you are correct, if everything else is the same (a big if!) then monofins are better. Here is the somewhat complex reason.
I'm a pilot and since aerodynamics and hydrodynamics are very similar (except for the very different "Reynolds numbers" regimes of a diver and an airplane, but both are fluids), one can transfer many lessons from planes to fins. Fins are actually far more complicated to analyze than rigid wings, but for the level of discussion here we will ignore that.
Sailplanes are most efficient airplanes known, measured by 'glide ratio x'. This means, if a sailplane -in calm winds- is released from tow one km above a flat landscape and glides down, it can go x kilometers before touching down. x ranges between 20 and 60 for sailplanes. A jet airliner is 15-25. A Cessna is 10. If you look at any sailplane, you find that its wing has a high aspect ratio, i.e. high ratio of wing length to wing width. The higher the aspect ratio (=long wing) the better it is. This has to do what happens at the wing tips . The higher pressure below the wing curls around and meets with the lower pressure at the top of the wing. This is called wingtip vortex and can be thought of as two horizontal tornadoes trailing behind the two wing tips. They are quite violent, if you enter a wingtip vortex in a smaller plane than you can spun around your longitudinal axis in a second or so! This violent energy in the vortices needs to come from somewhere - namely from the energy of the plane's engines and can be thought of as a source of big drag!

A pair of bi-fins is indeed as bad as it gets: First, they have 4 edges, i.e. 4 wingtip vortices and their aspect ratio is very low because they are longer than wide - very bad. A monofin has only two edges, good, and it can be made wide - good. The best monofin out there, the Lunocet, incorporates all these principles..
The two bi-fins mounted together as I described, hydro-dynamically speaking, act as a monofin and since the underlying fins are good (stiff), it is a good monofin.

Google wingtip vortices for images, there are quite a few dramatic ones on the web. eg
