Mermaid Students

[Mermaid Melanie]

Hey guys so here is a little video of the last training session I did with new mermaid - Amanda ! hope you like !

That looks like so much fun! It makes me miss swimming as much as I used to :\
Also, your pool looks fantastic! I wish pools around here were that cool XD.

[Mermaid Adriel]

really a good swimmer

[PearlieMae]

Awesome!

And yes, I am super jealous of your pool! (The one I work out in is only 4.5 feet deep and it will be months before my lake is warm enough to swim in!)

[Mermaid Wesley]

Makes me wanna get my fins wet! Is that pool for diving? I've never seen a 90° dropoff before

Gotta say, I would love a pool with a 90° dropoff... I always run face-first into sloped pool bottoms!

[Mermaid Melanie]

Its pretty deep all round to be honest I can only tip toe on the shallow end and I'm 5ft 1". The deep end is 5m deep (15ft) Its a pool that was just recently built near my house but no one seems to have discovered it yet other than one private dive company I work with. We have quite a few pools specifically built for diving in Phuket with this 90 degree drop off but they are no where near as deep or large as this pool ! Ive fallen in love with it ! Plus the water is so clear ! not like some of these other pools around here ! Also will add that it is not a chlorinated pool its slightly salted ! which is much nicer on our eyes !

[Mermaid Wesley]

That's amazing! I would swim there till my arms fell off XD

I would love that pool. the deepest I've found near me is maybe 5ft at the deepest. And that was a cool video. I like how she took her tail off underwater, it reminded me to practice being able to take my tail off while freediving in case something happens

[Mermaid Melanie]

Yeah it was some self rescue skills we practised incase of emergency - Im hoping to develop my course into a presentation and 3 day program so if any of you lovely mers would like to come train sometime hit me up ! I have done a couple workshops sort of like this but felt they were lacking in certain areas and am trying to improve and develop one of my own - working on it at the moment so ill keep you up to date with what I come up with also Syrena and I have been discussing an ASIA Mermaid meet up/gathering and I would like to offer the course during that time. ( will make another thread for that subject ) x

[ShyMer]

Lovely video! I love a good swimming video, it's soooo relaxing <3

[Mermaid Jaffa]

She's a natural. Slow and graceful.

[Mermaid Wesley]

I agree. I hope I look half as good while I swim.

Yeah Amanda is so comfortable in the water - she has a breath hold of 1min 25 - so just goes to show a long breath hold doesnt make or break the mermaid, you can still be an awesome mer with a shorter breath hold !

[Thalassa]

This looks great! Did you train her on everything shown there, or did she know a lot of it (eg: flips, kisses, etc)?

[Mermaid Melanie]

Hey Thalassa - Thanks ! Yeah everything Amanda performs in the video was what I demonstrated to her first ( I now realise I should do a demo video lol )

[Mermaid Melanie]

Also FINALLY got Susanne and I's playing around video uploaded - just a fun day getting to know the new training pool ! Hope you like - i like the song i think it reminds me of some sort of 1950's water baby Lawrence of Arabia or something lol ( free youtube song called Flower of Lebanon )

[Thalassa]

I wish I could afford to come swim with you! I swim okay but my technique is shoddy. :-) Keep posting videos, they look amazing!

[Ariel-Starfish]

Wow they have a long breath holding teqniuque! <3

[Mermaid_Dominique]

I wish I had a pool like that! Makes me want to go swimming right now! ^^
