Hello!
I'm Océane, I'm 22, and I'm living in the east of France, near Strasbourg.
I always loved swimming. When I was a child, I was able to stay in the pool a whole day, my mom had to force me to come out of the water. During middle school, I was in a swimming club, but I had to stop it when I entered high school. I entered a free-diving club 1 year ago, totally accidentally: I did an internship in a research lab, and my tutor was the vice-president of this club. At the end of my internship, he proposed me to do an apnea initiation, to discover it. After this initiation, I thought it was the opportunity to have an activity next to my studies. I learnt how to swim with a monofin, I participated in competitions, and I took level 2 in free-diving (in France, we have levels for free-diving, like for scuba-diving). I think it's a really nice sport :)
One day, my coach showed me videos of mermaid Melissa. A beautiful mermaid diving in the ocean, it was so amazing! I always loved fantastic creatures (not only mermaids, all mythical creatures, and all that refers to fantasy). I began to search more videos about her, I discovered other mermaids, and mermen, and a whole community! Then I searched how to obtain a tail, I wanted to try mermaiding! I saw many websites that sells mermaid tails, but it was really too much expensive to me, so I decided to make it by my own. I showed my creation to the members of my club, and they loved my tail and my idea. Now, my coach wants to open a mermaiding section in the club and to organize mermaid meetings. I'm so happy to see so much motivation coming from my idea!
I'm looking forward to meet you all! :)
Yours faithfully,
Océane
