Hi there! My name is Brittany but I go by Astrid the Mermaid. I am brand spankin new to this community but I am so stoked to be part of it all! <3 I originally was from Los Angeles CA but have been living in Eureka CA for the past 5 years now. I just got my very first tail (neoprene with a Mahina merfin) and I am so excited to start this journey! I have been swimming my whole life from swimming lessons as a baby to my friends pools to the beach and then swim team and water polo as I got older to where I am currently. The water feels like my home. And I love mermaids dearly as well. And I just recently realized that becoming a mermaid can actually be a reality and I can combine my two loves to have the best of both worlds! If there is anyone in Humboldt County with the same love as me for being a mermaid or merman please respond I would love to meet you! Having a pod and making new friends to do this with would be an absolute dream come true! Hope you all have a fintastic day! Mermaid kisses galore! xoxo Astrid the Mermaid

Hi! I'm also a swimmer that became a mermaid! Unfortunately, I live out on the east coast and not in your area but I'm always happy to hear about more swimmers joining the community!

Thank you so much! Welcome to the community to you as well! :) Humboldt County is in Northern California. Just a few hours south of Oregon. And thank you so much!!!! <3 I got really excited when I got my tail and swam with the tail and everything but I was in a more shallow pool so it was no problem. Don’t worry I didn’t scrape the tail anywhere though. But yeah I am going to practice there a little more before heading out to deeper waters. But yes thanks for the advice and hope you find a pod in Virginia!!!
