I’ve always wanted a mermaid tail but literally CAN NOT swim to save my life. 😂😂 So I adore these tips! Will definitely check out the other videos and practice in a pool this summer. Thanks bunches! ❤

yeah im definitely a floaty girl thanks to my F cups. I got my first super cheap tail and im about to start mermaiding. this vid helps a lot

Same here. First try, and I was vexingly floaty! Hoping to learn something to help. How are you doing now. I see you commented 9 months ago.

Great video! Definitely has great points. I never thought about someone first needing to be able to float with face in the water then turn!

@NerdmaidFaith 8 ай бұрын

It's an important self-rescue skill and shows that one is comfortable with their face being under the water and then transitioning to breathing at the top of the water! I like to make sure that folks have these basics down before disorienting them further in a tail

10:00 Only reason I’m so attached to my earplugs is because of that one time I got an ear infection in my youth. Was banned from the water until it healed, and cannot swim without them without getting mortified of being shore-ridden once again.

Same!! First time I went swimming in a tail at my local pool I got a double ear infection and pressure problems with my ears constantly popping. Absolutely horrifying

Today I've learned that my typical ways of swimming and hanging out in the water are the things used in Mermaiding. There's hope for me yet. 😱💙 Also good to know that it's totally valid to wear goggles since chlorine and I are not friends at all. Would probably get one stylized to look like glasses to connect with my dry fellow glasses wearers. Even better if I could get a customized pair of prescription goggles.

Hi! Do you wear your regular prescription eyeglasses underwater or do you have prescription goggles? I can't see without my glasses, can't wear contacts, and haven't swam in a while because I was wondering what the options are. Great video, thank you very much! 🌹

I wear regular glasses and no, they don't actually help me see underwater

@@NerdmaidFaith Thanks very much for taking the time to answer. I do love that you wear your glasses because it's a great inclusive touch to those of us who wear them. ❤️ Nice to know that even some mermaids wear glasses too! 🥰

Blow out a little air thru nose also works. Work your bouyance by letting air out lungs to sink or lay on pool bottom always keep some air in lungs

@wearesatellites91 9 ай бұрын

what kind of camera and tripod do you use for filming underwater like this?

@wolfpony8293 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you this will help Soo much. Now I do have a question. Do or or anyone know any exercises that would help to transition into swimming I like a mermaid. Like any exercises that I can do outside off the water that would help make learning to swim like a mermaid or swim in general easier. Something that doesn't require much pressure on the knees (messed up my left knee pretty badly and use a cane to walk around). Sorry if I'm being confusing, I'm not good at explaining things. Since I don't have access to any pool nor have the money to learn how to swim (hell I don't have the money to get me knee check up sadly) I want to what I can do before I go into the water.

Uhh question can you do the dolphin kick while you have one hand covering ur nose or do you have to have both hands infront?

@dragongirl3881 Жыл бұрын

I am absolutely not an expert, but I swim underwater with my hand covering my nose often, and trying to do a full body maneuver like the dolphin kick with a hand over your nose may be annoying or make it harder to do, so I’d probably get a nose plug, although I haven’t practiced enough to say for sure

You can swim with no hands, one hand, or both. Just seeing from other videos.
