Is it Easier to Swim with a Mermaid Tail?

Swimming as a mermaid can be super fun and change normal pool time into a magical swimming experience. While it is super fun, one question still arises, “Is it easier to swim with a mermaid tail?” Let’s dive in and find out.

In the beginning, trying to swim in a mermaid tail can seem challenging. It can feel restricting, and you may think you can’t swim effectively. However, once you learn the dolphin kick swimming motion, a mermaid tail makes swimming much easier.

Swimming in a mermaid tail with a monofin creates more propulsion which helps to keep you afloat and moving through the water. Also, with your legs together as a mermaid, you are in a streamlined position making it easier to glide through the water. All swimming activities should be done with adult supervision.

A good place to start learning how to use a mermaid tail is on the side of the pool. You can hold onto the side of the swimming pool and practice the dolphin kick motion. As you hold onto the side of the pool (belly down) practice moving your mermaid monofin up and down in the water.

Once you have the dolphin kick down while holding onto the side of the pool, you can move to the shallow end of the pool and try the dolphin kick in the water.  You can stand on your mermaid tail in the water, so if you need a break from practicing, you can just stand up in the shallow end of the pool. Once you have mastered swimming in your mermaid tail in the shallow end of the pool, you can expand your adventure to the whole swimming pool.

In conclusion, in the initial phase of learning to swim in a mermaid tail, it can be a little challenging. However, once you get the dolphin kick swimming motion down, mermaid tails make swimming easier and magical. Happy Mermaiding!
