Here is a pool in St. Paul that allow's mono fins and tails in their pool. It's Great River Water Park @ Great River Water Park: 270 North Lexington Parkway, Saint Paul, MN 55104 651-642-0650 Great River Water Park
The pool is 25-yard, eight lane's lap pool and 12ft deep. It looks pretty nice

January sounds good. It's so hard to get together over the Holidays. How exciting getting the new Mythic Tail!! I can't wait see it, congrats! So far I'm wide open in January. Are we thinking of meeting in the Twin cities again? I know the pool we went to in St. Paul was really nice and big

I would be able to make it if I ask my mom or dad for a ride. (Don't have my license yet.) 1:00 will work for me, I don't want to get home too late on a school night, I live 3 hours from st. Paul

I'm getting really excited for our meetup on the 15th. I will advise you all to bring a lock for the dressing room. They do provide one if you don't own already but there is a small fee, I think like $3.00 or so. I can't wait to see/meet everyone coming with their tails.

I've been thinking about our meetup everyday !!! I've never gotten the chance to swim with other mers before. I'll be bringing one or two friends along too if that's alright ^-^
They'll be able to use my fabric tails [emoji92]

Hey so would anyone be interested in going to the Mythics Exhibit @ the MN Science Museum??? the exhibit features MERMAIDs, dragons, unicorns, etc...
It starts Febuary 3rd and I don't think it costs too much.
We could go to that before the swim??
Just an idea :)
Oh! Here's the link to the exhibit website: https://www.smm.org/creatures
If it doesn't work for whatever reason, try my facebook page's timeline :)
Princess Aegean
01-30-2017, 10:08 PM
That. Looks. So. Cool. I'd definitely go! I'd probably have to take some time off work, but if I knew far enough in advance I could probably pull it off.

Hi guys! I live in Hudson WI and I've been searching to meet with other mermaids for YEARS! Mermaid Cora directed me here via my Facebook page (thanks girl!)
I am going to college in Madison, but I will be home March 18-26 and would LOVE to meet up with you guys! Is there any way we can plan within those dates?

The one in Minneapolis? Sounds good to me. Maybe I can get myself some mermaids stuff by then.
MermaidCora

March is perfect, that gives us plenty of time to get our human jobs off.
The Science Museum says; and I quote:
Reservation Information
Cost: Free with Museum Admission
Reservation Required: Yes
So let's get a date figured out and then maybe we (or I) can reserve the day for us?? It says they are only available on weekdays. (We could go in our mermaid best! LOL ;)
)

My first day of spring break is the 18th, it'd be tight but I could make it.
Could we go swimming along with the museum visit? (I've never had the chance to meet another mermaid and I would love to swim with y'all!)

The 18th works for me too! Yeah, we have to swim too, first priority! ;) I've never swam with another mer-person before either. My ex-bf almost made me believe I was the only one and that I was crazy! :mad: So swimming with other mer-people would be great!! :D
OR Would it be better to just do the swim if Echo is just arriving and Aegean will be leaving??? (I don't want anyone to feel rushed or anything)
What pool would we be going to??
MermaidEcho
02-01-2017, 12:07 PM
I'm glad you left his fish-butt! We could do the swim first and then maybe go from there. We can decide the day of what people are up for.
I have a gopro and my Mertender/boyfriend said he'd be more than willing to film some footage, and I can compile it into a YouTube video for us :) (you can click the link in my signature to see an example haha)
MermaidCora
02-01-2017, 08:21 PM
Yeah I'm glad I left him too :) That sounds like a good plan
That is AWESOME Echo! Thanks, you're the best!!! (and your bf ;) I'm definitely gonna want some video and pictures to remember this! I'm so excited, I wish March would hurry up and get here!! :D

I'm free that day. If it's the same park as last time I made it, it's tail and wrangler friendly. There's a big pool that's roped between the shallow and deep/diving ends, and there was plenty of room for tails on the deep side.
Edit: I scrolled way back, and yes it's the same one!
