How to know if you are ready for a mermaid tail
Mermaid tails are amazing to use and swim with, but must always take every safety precaution first. Please do not purchase a mermaid tail if you or your child does not have any swimming experience, or is not a strong swimmer.
A monofin is a good place to start for those who have swimming experience, but not for non-swimmers. Please read the safety recommendations above and our checklist below to see if you are ready for a tail.
Swimming lessons are an important life skill – learn to swim first before purchasing a mermaid tail.
- You have had swimming lessons and are comfortable in water
- You can comfortably float on your back without assistance
- You can float on your front while being able to take breaths
- You can put in your head in and out of the water, taking breaths in between
- You can tread water for at least 1 minute
- You can swim a minimum of 25 meters
