I just don't have the guts to go swimming at rivers or lakes without my trusted life jackets haha... I'm a slightly different kind of merfolk[emoji1]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/ff298322dfc621ea2653c393eb7f3238.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/9731c00d39f8dc7c9e2519fbd730ac89.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/0c7daf63ccce13a0f6b21f9969e4e888.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/4f0a91e778b48f7640446c260ff6ad31.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/ec826d57c5c8df7a64e301dddbf22c07.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/227b4d56d7a717efb193eaab4d791fb1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/f5276ac564b88f196ea9773cdf04bceb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/83a571d432a7a9d377e0e555acf8eb73.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/11f7a2426e8da70802e8ff0dc0d933ef.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201205/e078a004ccb932b00848ec943342ff97.jpg

Swimming in a tail finally(esp. Made by oneself) turned out to be quite a kinda surreal experience, the monofin turned out to have good enough propulsion yaayyy... If I wasn't already tired beforehand I think my swimming stamina could have been much more satisfactory I apologise [emoji38][emoji38]but it was sure fun nonetheless... My friend and I swam only close to the shore / the rocks as the current was a little too strong for our liking from the middle part of the river so we just didn't want to risk it even though we're decent swimmers and with our life jackets [emoji846]

What a handsome pair of mermen!

Soon you'll have the confidence to ditch the life jackets, you'll feel so free to be able to dive down and swim under the water, skimming along the bottom. Watching the fish dart away from you.

It is an amazing experience!
