What is mermaiding? 5 reasons why both adults and children can enjoy it

What is Mermaid Movement?

Mermaiding is an emerging aquatic activity that combines freediving, underwater dance, and performing arts. Participants wear specialized merfins and fish skins, moving freely through the water with the graceful strokes of a mermaid. This sport is not only suitable for adults seeking a dreamlike experience, but has also become a popular family-friendly aquatic activity in recent years !

Why is it suitable for both adults and children? 5 reasons to tell you

1. Safe and easy to use, even beginners can enjoy it

Mermaid training's fundamental movements, such as the body wave, are more engaging than traditional swimming, and classes are provided with floatation aids and instructor guidance. Children aged six and older can experience the shallow end, while adults can quickly master the techniques, making it a great activity for the whole family!

2. Super fat burning! Full-body low-impact exercise

According to research, mermaid exercise can burn 400-600 calories per hour . By coordinating the core muscles and lower body, it can simultaneously exercise the waist, abdomen, hips and legs, and puts little pressure on the joints. Even rehabilitation doctors recommend it!

3. Stimulate children's confidence and creativity

The process of donning a fishtail and transforming into the "Little Mermaid" helps children overcome their fear of water and develops teamwork and physical coordination through underwater play . Many parents have commented, "My children are braver after this class!"
