Fancy finding out what it actually feels like to glide through the water like a mermaid? This is exactly that: a fun, pressure-free taster session where you slip on a mermaid tail and monofin and let an instructor guide you through body undulation, breath control and confident swimming. No certification stress, just a playful way to spend time in the water, open to anyone aged six and up with zero prior experience required.

Watch your child's face light up the moment they slip on a monofin and glide through the water like the character from their favourite story. Designed for confident young swimmers aged six and up, this playful pool session blends real water safety fundamentals with the joy of finning, gliding and controlled surface swimming, guided by PADI Professionals. No previous experience is needed, and it's the perfect introduction before the full PADI Mermaid Course.

Built for certified mermaid swimmers and instructors, this hands-on one-day course teaches you to adapt monofins, buoyancy aids and fin harnesses for different bodies and abilities, and how small shifts in communication and pacing change who gets to enjoy the water. You leave with a practical toolkit and the confidence to teach inclusively.
