Don't have a tail yet, but I'm from Missouri ^w^ You wouldn't happen to know of any good visibility lakes would you? My aunt has a lake with a clay mine base so if you open yours eyes underwater everything looks like blood >.<U Johnson Shut-Ins is nice but there's usually too many people, the spot is too small, or there would be way too much climbing to bring anything heavy.

I'm 40mins to an hour out of St. Louis! I don't have a tail either but I'm working on finding places near me to justify a monofin purchase to my folks (I haven't told them my later plans for a tail yet but I still need to have comfortable places to swim). Where do you swim?

@DepthWitch: Good luck with finding a lake! My aunt has one from a closed clay mine but the others in the area around me are mostly gated. There is one that's not but I don't know if it's actually safe to swim in it (I know people fish in it though). You might have better luck with rivers or creeks. Some decent spots in my area are about 30mins away from me with a good one about an hour away. Although I'll be looking at a potential spot tomorrow that's only 20mins away. Do you swim in pools much?

I love clay lakes the red color of the water is quite beautiful and as for rivers I love swimming in them too there is so much to explore :) and yes I love swimming pools the only issue is the only pool I have access to is a community pool and I'm not a big fan of swimming with people I don't know haha i have no idea why just how it is lol

I think the red would be prettier for me if there was better visibility underwater (being able to see my hand when my arm is stretched out for instance). The clarity tends to be best a few days following a sizeable rain. As for swimming pools, my main problem with them is whenever the chlorine level is too high. The pool nearest me fried my hair after four swims so I'm trying to find more natural water places >.<U. Is it a somewhat small pool? If it's a bigger size, you could always stay in one area or in one lane?

its a small pool and as for chlorine I tend to try and find salt water pools.

If you need a site for finding some natural spots, try www.mostateparks.com. I found a closer spot for me just yesterday so maybe you'll find something, too! ^-^ Have fun!

Not that I know of, my lake, the Lake of the Ozarks has a green-ish tint to it underwater, making your skin look kinda green, but you can still see the bottom (but only in the really, really shallow end.) I wouldn't recommend opening your eyes underwater anyways in a lake, because it could harm your eyes.
You could try GenTeal eye gel, or the generic brand that is the copy cat of this and see if it works underwater in a lake. I've used it at my pool which has WAY too much chlorine, and it works perfectly, no stinging to my eyes. Although my eyes do get a little pink but go away after a few eye drops.
If you do, however perform or swim in a lake, be cautious of your surroundings (of course) and be prepared for any emergency (for any case, pool, lake, ocean, or dry gig.) Stay safe and good luck! - Mermaid Mikayla

Me too! I don't feel so alone, even though I'm literally the only mer in my area, but I'm glad that there are Missouri Mers.
