Sometimes in life, you need to strap on your figurative big girl pants… or in this case, a mermaid tail, and go for it.
Lots of stuff happening now, some awesome, some meh, and some that just sucks. Holy vagueness I know. But it’s all happening (cue Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In The Heights)… and it’s a bit too much.
So when the opportunity provided itself to attempt a water aerobics class while wearing a mermaid tail, I couldn’t not do it!
So some takeaways from my mermaid-ing: tails are buoyant. Sometimes too much so. But they give you a heck of a lot more power when you harness it in the right direction. Water aerobics is hard regardless, and harder when your legs are strapped together.
Wearing a mermaid tail makes everything better.
I can’t wait to do it next time.
So I’m off to channel my inner mermaid, even when land-bound…
(Mermaid-ing occurred at Mermaid Fitness at Hotel Del Coronado!)

This is exactly what I need! I can’t swim anymore because of my titanium knee – it is definitely not buoyant. I can walk in the pool but that can be boring and unless I can go deep enough it doesn’t help my upper body. I need a mermaid tail! Thanks so much for sharing this.
