Mermaids & Bubbles

Monofin swimming is technical swimming. 🌊

Like any technical water sport, mastering your equipment is essential to your safety — so every swimmer is competent, confident and safe before they take on any distance in the pool.

The quick release exit from our fins and skins is something we practise every single lesson — not optional, never an afterthought. It's one of the very first skills every mermaid learns with us.

Because before you swim like a mermaid, you need to know how to get out of the tail. Fast. Calmly. Every time.

This is part of our STA Mermaid Beginner Safety Award — the very first award in our programme. Your first Safety Award lays the foundation that everything else is built on — because at Mermaids & Bubbles, safety isn't something we get to eventually. It's where we start.

And that's one of the reasons we're proud to say that mermaid swimming at Mermaids & Bubbles is serious, certified swimming. We just wrap it in mermaid magic!🧜‍♀️

Can your child float while shouting and signalling for help? 🌊
It's one of those questions that stops you in your tracks — because most of us have never thought about it. But in a real water emergency, staying calm, controlling your breathing and knowing how to signal for help could be the difference that matters most.
That's because slowing your breathing actually inflates the lungs — giving you extra buoyancy when you need it most. It sounds simple, but observing and practising this skill takes time and repetition to master. It's a skill used by divers and water safety professionals — and it's woven into every single one of our lessons at Mermaids & Bubbles.
We help children feel at ease so they can learn essential skills that matter in the water. Our lessons follow the STA Mermaid and Mono Fin Award Series, delivered by qualified, experienced swim teachers who care about every child's progress in the water.
Mermaid swimmers don't just have more fun — they build real, essential water safety skills from their very first lesson. Staying calm. Keeping control. Moving confidently through the water.
We just wrap it in something so exciting they never want to get out of the pool! 🧜‍♀️

🐟 An introduction to their monofin — how to wear it safely, move through the water, and exit quickly and confidently when needed.
💪 Water safety fundamentals woven naturally into every session — because mermaid swimming isn't just magical, it builds real, lifelong aquatic skills.
✨ Lots of movement, imagination and fun — this is swimming, but not as you know it.
😄 And a child who comes out of the water absolutely buzzing!
What to bring: swimsuit, towel, water bottle, goggles and a sense of adventure. We provide the monofins and tails — everything your child needs to become a mermaid and swim like a fish! 🧜‍♀️
