Hi from the bayou!!

[pyrana]

Hello! So glad I found this forum and all the great resources and interesting people on here. Like lots of newbs I didn't think I could actually grow up to be a mermaid. So happy I was wrong. I live in Louisiana and am surrounded by water but no where mermaid friendly really. You don't want to swim in the Mississippi River. Fortunately I can take my monofin to the gym and no one cares so been getting in some great practice lately. Still can't swim without a nose plug though. You guys make it looks so easy sometimes! Working on my first tail and will post photos as I go thru the process. I'm also a belly dancer and have found the movements quite similar, so it has become a complimentary practice for my dance. Anyways just saying hi! And hope I can learn and eventually contribute with everyone.

welcome to the mer-community!

Hello and welcome!

I had that same problem when I lived in NOLA, no mermaid-safe natural bodies of water. The pool at one of the hotels a couple of my friends worked at ended up being my swimming hole. I miss the place, but I definitely don't miss not having an easy place to swim! :)

If water up the nose is bothering you, I was talking about it a while ago in the Underwater tricks thread (http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?297-The-Official-Underwater-Tricks-Thread!&highlight=underwater+tricks). Not sure if my method works for everyone, but it's worth a try. Glad to have you with us!

Hello, welcome to the Network! :) I also do belly dancing! Ur right, since I started dancing a year ago my swimming movements have really improved. :)

Hi!

[pyrana]

Thanks for all the love! I couldnt fall asleep last night as I was all over this forum for about 2 hours. Now if I just had more time, and money, and time.....

I hear that Holly Beach is getting cleaned up. Us Louisiana mers might have to plan a meet-up sometime

[Aziara]

urm... nevermind, can't find anything online about Holly Beach being ok. Can't always trust word of mouth, I guess.

[pyrana]

I am down for a meetup. With all the casinos around here I bet we could hit up one of their BIG pools. I mean who would say no to that ya know??? Gahhhh I'd love to find some salt water though. Chlorine kills my hair and eyes.
