Nonprofessional mermaids just goofing off

I'm glad it was okay!

I DIDN'T DROWN

My fluke accidentally did fall off at one point because i'd only safety pinned it instead of actually sewing it. But i discovered that I can easily swim in the "oh so heavy" tail without it! HA! HA HA HA I DID IT
However i did pop a few seams at one point doing a strange flop in order to avoid getting a bug on my face. But still! Everything works and i wont drown! Also it looks prettier than i could have possibly imagined when the sunlight hits it. Pics will be uploaded when the final thing is done, so keep your fins on, im inspired again!

I knew you wouldn't drown! Your tail sounds like it's pretty light, and I think the bouyancy is going to be more determined by the underlay material you used in your tail.

Got a chance to do another swim while I was at a convention in Columbus this past weekend. Did it early in the morning as it was mostly quiet, just a few people hanging around. Nobody seem to mind me swimming around in a mertail. Although, one of my roommates pointed out somebody on Facebook caught a photo of me in a relax position with the tail on in the pool. Thought I got away unnoticed, guess I was wrong!

This is so fun guys! I hope to join you. If only I live near. Anyway, I really want to try professional mermaid swimming someday.


P.S. Just want to share my video swimming in fins. https://youtu.be/hPR3qsYo7kI

So yesterday was an awesome day for me ^.^ My mother works as a dispatcher for a local trucking company called Melton. Well the company had a contest going on and it was to decorate your office with a Hawaiian/summer theme. When my mom called and told me about it my first reaction was "I bet you'd win of you had a mermaid at your desk,". She liked the idea and so Friday morning at 7 I was dressed up and having fun. So many of the co-workers kept coming down and wanting to get pictures. A lot of new drivers were there as well and I can't help but wonder what was going through their minds that day lol!!


One of the new drivers
Shark attacks one of the drivers and as you can see I am quite shocked indeed lol

And the best part? My mom's group won ^.^

A real mermaid sure beats a couple of tiki torches and a piece of fishnet! Congrats!

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Fun!!!!

I am saving up for a mermaid tail - but only for recreational use!
I've read through this thread and all the pool tail bans don't sound fun, but hopefully my nearby swimming pools will allow me some amount of time to swim! If not, there's always a 2 hour drive to the beach C:

I'm also saving up for my custom mermaid tail [orca themed!], which I learned today will cost $5,000 ! But it's no biggie, as I'll have that amount soon : D

Can't wait to show it off !!!

Lol indeed ^.^ It was so much fun and I'd honestly love to do it again sometime xD

A few weekends ago I went to Vortex Spring and finally got to test out my underwater "Action Camera". Sadly the photos didn't turn out that well but there is one that I kind of like which is the photo below.

Here are some photos of my daughter and two of her tales I made both of them one is just a slip that goes over her mahina merfin and other one is silicone caulk hybrid

My name is Mer-Crazy and as a casual mer I approve of this thread haha. On that note my fave things to do in my tail are make videos. Here's one from last year (hope it's okay I share this here):

Absolutely love the video

Lovely tails! Job well done. I'm curious about the slip tail over the Mahina. How do you get it to stay down over the foot pockets?

We use valcro that is on the mahina and the inside of the fabric on both front and back it only looks seamless because I edited my photo but it holds very well each piece of valcro holds up to 10lbs down fall is having to glue the valcro to the fin

I can see the annoyance of having a velcro strip permanently attached to the merfin but I rarely wear my mine without a tailskin so it wouldn't bothing me too much.

That is what my daughter said she wears it with the skin or inside her full tail very rarely does she swim just in the mahina the original skin had a fluke that attached the same way but that didn't work as well so that is why we bought the merfin and she doesn't use the fluke that we made
