Yeah, I'm not even allowed to hold my breath for a 25m lap of the pool where I live. I have to take at least one breath on the way, and there's no chilling out at the bottom breath-holding allowed. :( Talk to your guards, let them know your experience, and if you mermaid professionally, and offer to show them some of your tricks so they know what it looks like when you're doing your thing and what would be an indication you're in trouble.Quote:

I also love doing the dead fish trick, where I dive to the bottom, turn around and float up facing the surface.
TAMW one finally gets to use the skills one has been practicing all along, when the boys don't put the lane ropes back in, and there is "open swimming" in the other 25m half of the pool. And its so crowded. So am dodging and turning and barrel rolling along to avoid crashing in other swimmers and side jumpers. What a workout!!!
That awkward moment when your old gym membership gets to expensive and you have to move to a new pool, but the new pool only goes from 3ft to 4ft 6in and your old one had two pools: one 3ft to 8ft and one 3ft all the way. [emoji17] And just when you were getting confident enough to swim freely in the deep end. But, hey, at least I still get to go to the pool, right?

TAMW you've been working on your tail and want to take work in progress photo, so you wiggle into it... Only to realise your phone is on the other side of the apartment, and now you don't have feet. Hop, hop, hop...
Haha! Same!

Then, as per Murphy's Law, you would have realized you left the camera remote in the bedroom.Quote:

TAMW you have finally convinced a group of children that you are a real mermaid at the pool, but you need to leave the pool before they do, so you have your Marine friend (no pun intended lol) toss you over his shoulder to carry you out of sight.

That awkward moment when you are at a new gym asking about fins in the pool and you realize that it's come to that time: "So...do you allow mermaid tails?" And he's like "Umm... I have never heard of that before. Sure, I guess, just don't drown." And you nearly die of happiness!

That's pretty much how I approached the aquatic center, the week after MerFest 2015.Quote:

Now merfolk rule the pool! ;)
