The pool heater in my backyard pool is fixed! I finally got to practice underwater breath holds, and taped myself practicing for tank gigs.

I wish our pool was heated, kind of jealous right now

Got to have a nice long uninterrupted swim today, my kick is improving and my lungs didn't suffer too bad today either.

Finally got to swim in the pool after going all winter without being able to swim.

Those are fantastic.

A four year old boy in a lifejacket told me he wants to be a mermaid because he saw me swimming in my fin today.

Wifey had just informed me that this place is a 10-15 minute drive from our house.... 30ft of visibility in the water from what I can gather.... This is ridiculously exciting.

Gonna get out there real soon I hope. Father-in-law found another cute little lake hidden in the mountains today, one that doesn't charge to visit but the water visibility isn't as clear.

Oh my word! A lake in the mountains? That sounds divine!

I agree with Kait... you totally need to take some pictures!

There's a bunch of hidden falls, rivers and lakes in the mountains around here from what I've been told, I can only guess at how freezing cold some of them must be.

Don't worry, I'll get plenty of pictures when we make it to any of the spots

I finished the testing that I had to do to graduate, so now I can graduate! I'm not gonna fail my senior year! YAY!

**MermaidCelesteFL** · 05-26-2016, 03:55 PM

Did some underwater breath holds in my free time in between shifts today. I have broken my best record at just over three minutes!

**Mermaid Clara** · 05-26-2016, 04:15 PM

So a few good things! I passed my driving test. I ordered a pair of Finis Zoomers that were gently used for my friend since her feet are bigger than mine and they came in the mail the other day. I also went to Hancock fabrics the store that's going out of business and bought 3 yards of spandex for $25, which will eventually be turned into a painted spandex tail for my friend. Emily, my best friend, will also eventually get a matching polycarbonate monofin like mine. She is so excited because I told her the difference between sirens and mermaids, so she decided to be a siren because she's into dark colors and luring men to their watery death and stuff. Anyway, once the pools at our houses get warmer we'll start the training! My goal is to eventually have silicone tails for both of us and start our entertainment business!

I went to Hancock yesterday too! Yay, 50% off spandex!!

I got fabric for 3 different tails: mint, jade, and a bright crayon green. (I'm actually not HUGE into green, but those were the colors they had that I liked, and I realized afterwards that they were all a shade of green, haha!) I got a little extra in the mint and green because I'm hoping I can make an extra fluke cover and attach it to the bottom of my SunTail tails, now that I have a different monofin.

My only regret was that they had a GORGEOUS shiny brown spandex that I wanted for a steampunk mermaid tail - but it had NO give in one direction!

And I'm still pretty new to sewing, esp. stretch fabrics, so I just didn't want to bother :T

**Mermaid Mystery** · 05-26-2016, 09:19 PM

Change of plans. Instead of one kitten we're getting two!

**Kait** · 05-26-2016, 09:39 PM

Yay for more kitties!!!
