Thread: My first tail and swim were AMAZING! Hello Everybody!

  1. #1

    My first tail and swim were AMAZING! Hello Everybody!

    When I was a little girl swimming in motel pools on roadtrips with my family I used to turn out my feet and pretend they were a fluke. Later, in competitive swimming fly and dolphin kick in general were what I would do all day long. I loved diving to 12 feet and I worked as a lifeguard for a few years. That on top of 15 years of ballet training...let's just say that now in my mid-twenties I've found what I want to do with it all.

    Here is my first swim! I made my fabric tail and yes, I know my monofin is showing, but I wanted to test it before I sewed the last seam.


    OK, upload to Vimeo took forever. Sorry for those who couldn't view the vid. Here it is.

    Awesome! Your tail is beautifully made. It makes perfect sense to make sure it works the way you want before sewing the last seam.
