Did you know you can take.. Mermaid Classes.. in Old Orchard Beach?
YEP – I was perusing the Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult and Community Education webpage & came across “Mermaid Swim Section” & “Siren Swim Section” Classes.
Of course my interest was piqued. If you grew up loving mermaids like me (hello, 80’s & 90’s babies! Thanks, Splash & The Little Mermaid) then you’ve probably imagined yourself as a mermaid at least once in your life.
These classes are right up your alley. Here’s the description for Mermaid Swim Section III:
“Explore your Inner Mermaid!
This full-body exercise, in a heated outside pool, will work your core, strengthen your muscles, and have you gliding through the water in a mermaid tail and fin in no time. A feel-good class for women of all ages (18+) with a musical warmup, aquatic exercises, and synchronized fin swimming for beginners. These are structured classes that are progressive workouts from week to week to increase strength, confidence, endurance, and swimming techniques for mermaiding. A certified and enthusiastic instructor (mermaid) will swim right beside you. In class mermaid tail and fin provided. Limited to 6 participants.
Registration closes at noon on 8/9. Free on-street parking is available until 10 AM.
Prerequisites: Must be able to swim and feel comfortable in the water.”
How fun and awesome does THAT sound? Playing mermaid & getting exercise at the same time? Sign me up!
So, if you see a drunken mermaid thrashing around on the beach this summer…
1: It’s ME and 2: Mind your business.
