Any Orlando mermaid willing to teach a new mer?

[DreamLuna]

Hello everyone, I'm completely new to this and I will purchase my first tail this Friday! I was wonder if any of you had any advice, good pools or places to swim near Orlando and if you would like to meet up at some point!

We don't teach you how to swim in a tail but if you are looking for a pod of mermaids to swim with check out Florida Springs Mermaids. We get together in small Mini Meet Up pretty often and one or two big Meet ups a year. You can follow us on Facebook for updates on events.

Thank you for the Pod information. I'll go and check it out!

I already know how to swim with the tail, I meant if you all could teach me the mermaid ways. As where to swim and where to avoid, if you do any stretches you before or after you swim, where to buy tops. You know useful mer-knowledge.

But once again thank you for the Pod info I'll take a look at it!

Hi DreamLuna.

I also live in Orlando as well! I am also searching for Pod mates! I'm a new mermaid, had my first swim at New Symrna; I don't recommend. Beautiful beach, but the water is really murky.

Check out Wekiwa Springs. It's a great spot for shallow swimming, and you can also work on breath holds and diving in the boil. Deleon Springs has a nice gentle slope and basin, great for practice swimming.

Focus on: Using your abs and hips to dolphin kick, not your legs. Holding your breath for long periods of time. Getting comfortable opening your eyes under water.

Be sure to bring a friend!!! you never want to swim alone in a mermaid tail. Also ask them to bring a waterproof camera for videos and photos, it's a great way to see your progress.
