AquaMermaid

AquaMermaid is a swimming school.

Dedicated to the Happiness of Your Inner Mermaid
AquaMermaid is the newest, hottest swimming school. When Marielle Chartier Hénault, the founder decided to bring her mermaid dream and passion for swimming into a mermaid school, she envisioned a positive-energy, colourful, inspiring alternative to the traditional swimming clubs across town. Six months later, AquaMermaid is drawing a diverse group of members of all ages, genders and swimming levels. AquaMermaid proudly operates in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, Kitchener, Phoenix and Chicago offering a variety of mermaid classes per week featuring 40 mermaid team members.

The meticulously chosen pools are staffed by professional mermaids trained as lifeguards, synchronized swimming instructors and aqua fitness trainers. The team is available to help you in your exercise, maximize your workout and make your life a real fairy tale come true!

AquaMermaid the Activity
AquaMermaid is an artistic expression and a fun way to keep fit! It is a new discipline where you learn how to swim like a fish using both legs as a fish tail and using your core muscles to propel forward. With multiples arms placement variations you can perform a variety of unique swimming activities.

Mermaid tails are made of stretch fabric such as spandex and are worn up to the waist and have a monofin incorporated at the tails end.

Fin Size
All our Mermaid tails come with our Aquamermaid monofin that accommodates feet from size 2 to 9. It includes two adjustable straps and a comfortable neoprene cushion insert to perfectly fit small feet.

Your First Class
In The Little Mermaid, Ariel yearns for a pair of human legs. But that was just a fairy tale—in real life, everyone yearns for a mermaid tail. At AquaMermaid School, dreams can come true, as human swimmers—adults and kids alike—transform into shimmering, graceful mermaids with the help of artificial tails complete with colorful scales and broad, delicate fins. Before they can glide through the water, though, students have to learn how to swim with the mermaid tail. During classes or parties, instructors progress from basic tail-swimming lessons to advanced techniques such as underwater choreography. Many times, a course or birthday bash will conclude with a photoshoot, so mermaids can immortalize their new moves and prove their mermaid pedigrees to skeptical seagulls. - Whether you are joining us for your very first mermaid class or have been swimming for years, your first visit to our pool is a big deal. We want you to have an awesome experience! AquaMermaid has a friendly, knowledgeable team and a variety of levels, schedules and locations to choose from. The school is a community and we all contribute to the positive energy.

Preparing for Class
Wear a comfortable bathing suit (one or two pieces are good). Make sure it allows you to move freely. Avoid eating a heavy meal ­2 hours before practice. Tie up your hair to clear your face.

What to Bring with You?
Mermaid essentials such as goggles, swimming cap (according to the pool), towel and a locker should be used. Mermaid tail rentals are included in all classes but are also available for purchase online if you want your own. We recommend bringing a pair of socks for children with smaller feet, as the monofin only comes in limited sizes.

Selecting a Class
At AquaMermaid we divide our classes by age group (7­-13/kids) (14+/adults), swimming level, and pool depth. Please call us and allow one of our Mermaid advisors to help you select an appropriate class, especially if you are brand new to mermaiding. You need to register in advance for a class or a party session.

Arriving at the Pool
Give yourself time to check­ in! Arrive 10-­15 minutes prior to the start of class. Get changed and meet us beside the pool and mermaid tails. Bring your membership card or your registration receipt.

Entering the Pool
To offer the best learning environment for yourself and your fellow mermaids, only the AquaMermaid participants are allowed in the pool area. Parents, friends and family can watch the class from the other side of the pool windows in the waiting area. Lockers are available to secure your cell phone and other belongings.

Your Mermaid Class
Your mermaid practice is yours, combining fun and sport is our main focus. Do your best to follow the class and listen to your body. If you have any injuries or special conditions we should be aware of please advise your instructor at the beginning of the class. Feel free to ask for simpler or more advance movements for an appropriate challenge.

Leaving the Practice
The 10 last minutes are reserved for free swim and friend and family are invited to take pictures. Your instructor will be available after class to answer any questions you may have.
