So Merman Cetus and I have been collaborating for him to meet up with my training pod and myself. We decided to announce the plans in case any other mer in the area at the time would like to socialize!
Date: Saturday, Oct. 11th
Time: Approx. 10:30 a.m to 3:30 p.m
Location: Miami Springs Pool
Address: 1401 Westward Dr., Miami Springs
Pool entrance fee: $4 per person
I'd like to note that while the pool is perfectly accepting of merfolk and seem to not be able to care less, please be courteous while in attendance. The deep end is 9ft but split into lanes most of the time. Please remember to stay in your lane if you find an empty one. They don't mind diving from what I have experienced (though my static breath hold falls just under a minute, so I'm unsure)
My training pod has been swimming at this pool frequently since mid summer. Most of the lifeguards by now are used to seeing us with not only monofins but also lycra tails. There's even a lifeguard who's interested in getting a tail as well!
Warning: There is uncovered fiberglass on the edges of the pool. While not sharp, please be advised that prolonged contact with your skin will cause excessive itchiness.
Please be advised that food is not allowed at the pool. While there is a water fountain I would recommend a bottle of water to make sure they you stay hydrated. After the meet if you're hungry there are multiple restaurants nearby. Some are fast food and others are small businesses. There's even a grocery store.
And for any merfolk who plan to attend, feel free to bring your Mertender/Merwrangler/Merhandler along if you have one! My training pod only has Mertender John who doubles as our photographer.
