GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
gma.yahoo.com/
Most people: I’m dropping out and becoming a stripper
Me, an intellectual: I’m dropping out and becoming a professional mermaid
😂
Honestly same!😂
Hiba Jayde same
I just graduated with my master's degree, I can't even swim because I was conditioned as a child to panic whenever I get water in my ears. And I'M over here thinking I want to drop everything and go be a mermaid.
OMG SAME I LOVE MERMAIDS
6 minutes of me wishing I was at the convention
Zoe-Rose Mouton same
IKR :(
ѕαmє mαn
Zoe-Rose Mouton I feel
Goliby pkjfgb
this is no different than people calling comic book conventions “nerd conventions”. stop hating, let people bond and be happy in whatever LEGAL thing they love lol
2:10 it's sad that she needs to specify that she knows she's a human.
Exactly
Yeah.
At least she’s not living a delusion like a lot of idiots on TikTok
Why so many hate comments? I'm glad to hear about something that people enjoy doing for once other than someone being killed or something terrible happening to someone.

Imminentintent yeah I agree
Imminentintent exactly
Imminentintent EXACTLY
dunno why people complain about this, it looks super fun. it's not like they're hurting anyone, they're just having fun and living life. let them be.
Yaaas let the merpeople be I'm a mermaid soooo...
Molly Dill youre not a fucking mermaid
Prove it, fuckface.
(same with furries cough cough (besides tik tok cringe furries) but people still hate sucks man ppl judge to much))
Ok I’m a guy and... to be fair I think this is a really good idea. It helps to entertain and make others feel involved and important in their own little mermaid adventure
Longest running Mermaid Web Series ua-cam.com/video/OtSvuvgwzDM/v-deo.html
There are mermen, too! It's all about having fun and leaving the human world behind for a little while!
@@Liv-dh6tn Because the human world fucking sucks?
I don't care if this is weird. The whole aesthetic is so beautiful and I have a lot of respect for the people who put in the time and money to do this. Like I just wish I was this comfortable in the water
Me too, but I'm so fearful of drowning....even when I swim like a mermaid (no tail) I can only hold my breath for thirty seconds without panicking.
how do they fail to mention "H20: Just Add Water"
Heyo Angelicat H2o:Just Add Water**
Heyo Angelicat I loved watching that show!
Heyo Angelicat I don't think that show is American. They were only naming American shows. There are a lot of mermaid shows and movies that aren't American and they can't name them all.
Heyo Angelicat yeah or mako mermaids I love that show
Heyo Angelicat I know right! That was my fav show
her eyes are magnificent
Caitlyn Jade fr
Caitlyn Jade ikr.
Caitlyn Jade I was thinking the same thing
yes her eyes are extremely beautiful❤💙💚💛💜💗
Caitlyn Jade nine is better
chris' tail and headpiece are absolutely STUNNING
Damn talking about a sexy king Neptune
Oml ikr
EXACTLY
I LOVE IT!!
oh god, those beautiful eyes got me to clicked this video ..
CenTz ur right
CenTz same here! XD
same
😍 they’re so beautiful
Right?
I'm surprised... no comments about how amazingly her makeup stays under water? That shits amazing.
Jay P waterproof makeup
Jay P it’s waterproof
Still flawless 👌
Honestly I was wondering the same thing the main mermans makeup looked awesome
I wear makeup and im a competitive swimmer,it always stays on.Eyebrow pencils are very stong against water and so is nyx eyeshadow.I also recommend maybeline lash sensational waterproof mascara
I sooo wanna go! I wish they advertised for this better so I could actually get there instead of hearing about it when the event is already over. :/
Keep an eye out for next year! :)
EmpressLuna Frost facebook
hey I ran this event, we actually advertised it in every major news outlet beforehand. Sorry you didn't see it, but not exactly much else we could do!
Hey, I just found it kind of sad. I've always wanted to be a merman, but I'm afraid of akin my family for a tail. I've been made fun of throughout my childhood, because I always liked the things that girls liked. But when I was a little kid, whenever we always played the Little Mermaid, I was always told "Oh, you can't be a mermaid, only girls are mermaids,", so I would always be the stupid prince. I've had similar situations throughout my life, like oh you can't do this, you can't do that. This is something that I've wanted to do since I was 3-4 years old. I find out that people have these gorgeous tails, but I'm so scared I'lll suffer the same heartache. I don't want to be a social outcast, but at the same time, why let the girls have all the fun?
join mernetwork dot com and chat with other mermen. You arent the first person afraid of what their family might think!
WHEN I GROW UP IM GOING THERE WHOS WITH ME
ME
Poke _squish Me, imma get all my friends and make a merfolk pod so we can swim near the shore and surprise little kids at the beach. 🤗
Oh I'm with you girl
Me Me Me!!! I want to grow up, get a tail and make a splash.
Ofc me
We’re the hell is Cleo, Emma, and Ricky?
H20 should've been included
That's what I was thinking!!!
Tehya Moore where*
Tehya Moore I asked the same question 😂
THIS
How can people fault this and think it's weird? People don't identify as mermaids! It's just dressing up and swimming. It's fun. Some people do it professionally.
im one of those professionals, i love it its so much fun and making kids happy is always a great thing, I also volunteer at local hospital to just meet and talk to kids while in character. It makes me happy that I can make their day just alittle bit brighter.
NewYorkMermaid - I acted at a Ren Faire in college and it was the best summer of my life. One of the things we did was go to the local Children's Hospital all decked out in our court gear. I was a maid of honor (unmarried noble woman who helped the queen) and it was a blast helping the kids get up on the stage to see the queen while she was all decked out. (We did it down in a little theater room they had, since our costumes were worn outdoor and around animals. That way children with fragile immune systems could be kept clear of us if needed.)
"so what do you do for living?"
"yeah i'm a professional merman"
twirly I know this will sound weird but if you have fortnite can you give me your epic
Why not? Longest running Mermaid Web Series ua-cam.com/video/OtSvuvgwzDM/v-deo.html
Imagine a real mermaid sneakily swimming along with them
Ikr😂
That's just what I was thinking hehehe. GMTA (Great Minds Think Alike for anyone who's never seen that one before)
Perhaps like "H2O Just Add Water" or "Splash". Human when dry, mermaid when wet.
Am i the only one who would think this would be a great idea for attractions at aquariums or other places of that sort? I think it would be a great alternative to animal shows and it would also be a new art form to be introduced!
i don't really get all the hateful comments, it's just people having fun and living out the dreams we all had once as children. plus they were brought up on the show the Doctors and the psych they had as a guest stamped this as being very healthy because it allows for freedom of self expression, socialization and you exercise while doing it. she also commented that the burst of self confidence from the merfolk when they were playing in the water with their tails on compared to when they walked around as a human was actually also healthy for them. it isn't escapism and it keeps people fit and happy so idg all the "omg sjws!" comments esp when this doesn't comment on politics at all
Naqi Guay I agree 100%. I found it really inspiring. It looks like a well rounded hobby and a really fun job. They're having a great time, engaging with children, all while staying fit. Sign me up!
iyt
I LOVE THIS VIDEO !!
she's so beautiful. her eyes...
kelly walker you sound like you to kiss her..
😋😋❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG 666 LIKES!
I kinda have the same eyes as her. I have very light gray/blue eyes
Those are not her eyes. Those are called aqua marine contacts.. I have the same ones. You can too for$25.
Me: "I want to be a mermaid!"
Mermaid: "This costed me.. $2,100"
Me: "😳Nope😔Nvm"
You can still be one. They have mermaid tails on amazon for $25.00 to $100.00 it`s not too late to get one
Yeah it’s that much money because they are really good tails and she uses that for her job you can still be a mermaid though you can find tail online for an affordable price
Fully aware I might be a bit late, but if you still have this dream, then look at FinFun's tails and not on Amazon.
Amazon or Wish or really any other extremely cheap tail you find normally end up being pool toys meant to splash around in extremely shallow water with, and have monofins that cause blisters.
FinFun has safe tails and they're realistic, as well as affordable at $50 for a professional-grade monofin and $25 or so for their Mermaiden tails, and $50 for their limited edition tails. I personally have a limited Lotus Moon tail and it has yet to tear or keep my feet stuck inside them if I need to kick off the tail.
If you need any more help, feel free to ask me.
@@AvalonAnthros Absolutely. Fin Fun tails are great quality and safe. They are MOSTLY directed towards children so they have to be incredibly safe to be successful.
You can still be one. I mostly use fabric tails. And I’ve been an inspiration for guys who want to be mermen.
I'm getting my first tail on Wednesday! I'M SO EXCITED!!!
l u c k y
I have a tail but it is to small for me now. Oof
I'm getting my first tail around the end of March
Yay! I got my fist tail, when I was 6 now I making my own tail (my 5th) tomorrow! I’m super exited.
LGBTQ Pride. I want to sell mine for $20 also since then I’ve gotten a new fin fun!
How does she keep her eyes open under water? Once I open my eyes underwater, I it is super foggy and super hard to see, and it stings my eyes.
What Jannatul said. Though as another mermaid, my goodness is it hilariously difficult to see clearly in the water XD you kind of just see blurry shapes. I've had to try many times not to swim into pool walls
Tbh I would just wear swim goggles and call them glasses..
It is hard to see it’s very blurry but u get used to it. As for opening ur eyes I definitely I would suggest doing it little by little for small amounts of time and soon u will be able to see water , but it will always be blurry , it just won’t hurt anymore 😊 but it does. Get better
Snowy Apples its always going to be blurry and sting it just gets easier as she continues to do it
Snowy Apples well once u practice its so easy
This is a thing!? Why haven't I heard of this tip now?
Why haven't I heard of this TAIL now ?
Ok, these people risk their breaths for our entertainment and we complain
Stunning eyes 😍

YES US MERMAIDS ARE FINALLY GETTING HEARD😱
Mermaid Mia Fake ones to be exact
Thanks captain obvious.

Michelle Baker stfu lmao
Samarra O why did u report it are u finning me heehee what are u gonna do now report me for my terrible puns to give me a 'pun'ishment HMMM
Who else wants to be a mermaid but can't swim
Lavender Obelle me and I'm a little scared of water
Well, all mermaids start somewhere! We learn and grow! Someday maybe you’ll be able to swim with us!
I can swim but not that well...
Lavender Obelle I can swim I just cant swim like a mermaid
Lavender Obelle me
Me: help help I’m drowning
Lifeguard: your in the 3 feet
Me:oh
That really happened during a shoot. Longest running Mermaid Web Series ua-cam.com/video/OtSvuvgwzDM/v-deo.html
Lmfao xD
**found a new fandom**
''MOMMMM IMA BE A MERMAID WHEN I GROW UP''
(I actually want to do this)
If only i had money ;-;
If you're still interested...
Try looking into FinFun's tails, they're cheap and extremely safe for their pricing. Do not go on Amazon or Wish though, no matter how cheap they might seem. If a tail is too good to be true, then it probably is.
You can just get the monofin for $40, which you can safely kick off in the event of an emergency.
The price of their more basic tails is $40 as well, but they're stunningly realistic and have a nice variety of colors. If you don't feel like any colors fit your style, look at the limited edition tails for special effects like sparkles or glowing in darkness. And if you really feel like it, you can order an entirely custom tail for $100, still $300 less than some other pure-custom tails that I've seen.
Here's the site!

@@AvalonAnthros I use those, they do take a bit of care though
@@addy8917 I have one as well, though it really isn't all that difficult to care for. Silicone on the other hand is a lot larder.
@@AvalonAnthros Thats true
I would gladly give up my legs for a tail any day.
BolivianBeauty 312777 sameeeeee
me too
same i would get a tail any day plus my lrgs and feet are always sore
Totally!
I hope you guys aren't serious, because that would be a HORRIBLE idea. Eating raw fish for the rest of your life, not even having access to any of the electronics you're using right now, hunted by predators (sharks, killer whales, etc) I could go on and on, but I think you get the point XD
Before anybody says it, yes: Amy Lee of Evanescence's doppleganger is indeed a mermaid.
Shannon B no one was going to say that, no one cares.
🌙 ImOnlyADream🌙 your a nightmare. Eh eh get it? But seriously stop being a jerk
you could also say she's
a siren
imagine if one of them was a real and they're all be like swimming and chillin with the real one saying:
"Hi,HOW ARE YAH" :>
Dency Catte Bacolod Sneaking in an actual mermaid would be the best cover up to finally meet humans and interact with them 😂
I'm laying down on a sofa till 4:13 when they say 300 PARTICAPANTS
I fall down for two reasons
1:I'm shocked
2:why am I not in them
She has always been so sweet to me. Loved meeting her and always can't wait until our next swim.
You know her IRL? That's so cool.
Mermaid Paige of Virginia Beach you’re from va too? Yay more va mermaids

I thought he said co-wanker
VirtuaMe puns
I've always wanted to be a mermaid and when ever i go swimming, I always do the mermaid/dolphin swimming. But I don't know if I should do this job?
If you really want to go for it
You’re gonna be wonderful
✨💕😍💋☺️

Several professional mermaids that I follow that might be able to help you get started and share lots of information about the job:

ua-cam.com/channels/NDVFsOY1HMSXDhcxuEfGoA.html
you can do it just for fun too :) There are tail skins and Monofins for less than 100 bucks on the market. Finfun for example makes great tails for casual swimming.
ANJELICA Angel same
Yeah, I want a tail, but I rarely go to a swimming pool, and We dont exactly have the money for it
Your here from the sidemen video with Harry, welcome 😂
*just keep swimming...just keep swimming...what do we do...we just keep swimming...*
Thank you for being the most inspirational comment here
I used to say that every time I was swimming when I was like five
"Up to $5000 -" 😭 Oh that's cute, we all know they can cost way more and there are some at that convention.
Doctor: so how can I help you?
Me: doc, can you break all of my leg bones then sew on the mermaid fin on my legs?
Doctor: @-@ wut?
gwangju sauce extreme bc are you going to live your whole life in water. Do’eth you knoweth your skin will prune? 😂
i would be scared the weight of the tail dragged me down in the water😣
Kassie Knight it's actually very boiant in the water.
Kassie Knight Coming from an experienced mermaid-actress, it did scare me a lot. I practiced in a shallow pool at first, and slowly went deeper.
Before swimming with a large tail like that, they practice with cloth tails and smaller flippers. You can see someone wearing one at 2:50. It takes a lot of work for someone to become accustomed to swimming with their legs bound, so all of these mermaids are very strong swimmers!
Silicone tails are a bit harder to control in the water than legs or fabric tails because the flukes are bigger but they are almost weightless in the water. You will not sink- your body will still be naturally buoyant. As long as you learn the dolphin kick, practice with a monofin, try using a fabric tail and NEVER SWIM ALONE, you should be able to swim in a silicone tail in no time!
theaceofhearts36 yea
She should really dye her hair red so she can officially become Ariel
#Disney needs to get a hold of this
Yasss
Ulit 8 omg yes
Ulit 8 it would wear off in the water
Naomi Metcalf Not permanent dye
Ulit 8 omg cool
Mermaid Melody in real life.
Erika Karisawa oh god that takes me back aw
Awwww I’m nostalgic now
Omggggg nostalgia!!
Erika Karisawa fuck I thought I was the only one who knew this
As long as it comes with the knowledge of how to swim with it.
Sidemen Sunday brought me here
Does anyone else not like the moment when they swim in their tails and want to maka a backflip and they fold they knees and it ruins the effect of a fish tail? xDD
nele bes Omg i know the feeling XD
It frustrates me so much
yeah they should probably learn to do wider back circles to avoid that
Have you actually ever tried to do that in a silicone tail? That shit hurts so.
+Kendra Wilson lol
I want the Jellyfish lantern.
She Dragon SAMEEE
Daughter of The King I’m not trying to Bragg but I have like 10 of them I have a beach and kind of a Moana themed room
This looks so fun! I wouldn’t want to attend, but I think these people are so kind and I’m glad they can have fun doing what they want!

@@Theekholms are you guys done with your series. I noticed y'all hadn't premiered an episode in a while.
@@bowlinerailfan We have taken a break. College and jobs… Can’t say “we’re done,” may still have season 19 to wrap up. Great to hear from you!!
@@Theekholms Great to hear from y'all too! I've often enjoyed your show as seeing videos with merboys and mermen made me glad that I wasn't the only boy growing up who wanted a to be a merman; and now I am a merman with a Fin Fun artic blue tail. I wish you all smooth swimming in the future and may the Lord's goodness be upon you.

THANKS FOR NOT TELLING ME ABOUT THIS, WORLD
there will be another one next year

I ran this convention! It ended up with over 500 in the end
Raina Mermaid is there anyway you could get me there for free plz🙏🙏🙏
Raina Mermaid If you like anything Mermaid then check out my Poshmark @TheMermaidShop. :) I will be listing more items soon.
You didnt run it
Raina Mermaid hey I'm a furry. Both our fandoms have a lot in common. Tell me what do you think about spending $5000 custom fin or a $5000 custom animal costume?
icewolf and echo I love furries and mermaids but I'd say DEFINITELY a tail! :D
She's so pretty and guys follow your dreams don't let nothing stop you too follow your dreams
Leah Bermudez thank you bubble kisses
Thanks for that but what about how much those silicone tails cost. Welp looks like I need that job as a marine biologist.
I’m scared
Why doesn’t their makeup come off 😱😱
Loki da Woof its a makeup meant for water
Very well applied waterproof makeup! I did an underwater shoot recently and only one part of my makeup came off (which wasn't as well sealed as the rest) while my eye makeup and lipstick were still like fresh for hours after.
N3RDYG0GGLES okie thanks now I’m not scared 🤪
It’s waterproof I think
Water proof makeup
I need a CSI episode involving THIS!
there was one bahahaha well a crime show at least
Raina Mermaid 💖 i totally agree been whatching you from the start and your amazing!
i dont have more money
Erna Raban do you know what eye did to furries they will do the same thing to this 😡
Can't wait till I finally go when I get a silicone tail in the future!
JellyMermaid Same! Right now I just have a limited edition from fin fun! My dad is going to help me customize it a bit more by adding extra fins and a few beads! But I would love to get a silicone!
Keep in mind kids, Sillicone tails weight and cost alot.. My sillicone tail took about 4 swims in the shallow end before I could go deeper because it was So heavy! It took me a year to save up 1,000 dollars.
Phoenix means fire bird
Me too
Oh my goodness! Just seeing the group of little kids just warmed my heart!!! It's honestly incredible stuff like this exist and I really wish they had places like this where I live! ;w;
I'm saving up for a silicone tail and someday I'm gonna get one.
Great job Hannah!!! Love this so much
Who thinks Disney should remake Ariel live
BeautifulBettas Disney is making a live movie about a mermaid I’m pumped
Katie Jo omg yessss
with Ariana Grande
😘😘😘😘😍
They already did it's in Netflix
Who else heard about this profession after new sidemen video and came to check, if there is actually a profession like this.
This convention looks like fun to attend. I would love to see their performances. The photographs are stunning. I'm glad they can do work living their dream life.
honestly i don't know why people hate these things i mean they put smiles on kids and stuff like that, my friend's 6-year old sister loves furries and the mermaids so it really depends on the age group i guess.
FURRIES UNITE!
Who would hate them?
imagine needing to pee while in the mermaid tail and if you peed in the water and your pee just stayed in the tail
Mel_Seg no that is disgusting
Mel_Seg actually when you get out of the water if you have a silicone tail the water drain out of the bottom really easily but im not sure if it depends on the kind of tail
Omg 😂
Mel_Seg Gurl TMI!
lolllllll
Its been two years and i still rewatch this video repeatedly, its just amazing
i was wondering , now i know, btw im from the sidemen video
*I Have A Couple Of Questions*
1.
Where is the Mermaid Convention?
2.
Does My Tail Have To Be Silicon?
3.
Can 11+ Year Olds Come To This Convention?
4.
When Is The Next Time Is This Convention Is Gonna Happen?
NC Mer-Mania is held in Greensboro, NC. We welcome tails of all kinds; silicone, fabric, neoprene, etc. Mermaids and mermen of all ages are welcome, though we do have an evening event where alcohol is served, so adult supervision would be preferred. The past two conventions have been held in January. Keep an eye on ncmermania.com for future dates!
Mer- Mania
*Thanks So Much*
I'll be sure to see if I can come!
Mer- Mania ohmigod thanx sooo much I've been trying to find out for sooooooooooooo long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harley_ Quinn246 yes
It doesnt have to be silicone
*when you wish you can be a mermaid but still can't swim* I cry every time ;_;
You can still take a lesson
It’s so easy
Chloe Gibbs well some people have a hard time swimming
As a merman I look forward to going to this one day and I also know Hannah through the mermaid community a very sweet person she is and she's with Wands & Wishes too.
And i cant even get water in my eyes in the shower and have a panic attack😂
wear goggles
I'm pretty sure it cost a lot or something but if these people have the right training they can probably use those Mermaid tales used in Mako Mermaids and H2O. Imao those tails were the best and so real looking.
Neighbor Please, those things are no where near as cool as these tails. I find them to look a little "fat", unappealing, and not as striking as the tails you see here
Fiery Soul I like these tails too they are really pretty with different colors and tbh I wish the H2O tails had different colors to, btw the tails were suppose to be fat, and it was just MY opinion
The tails made for H2O are a lot heavier then the silicone tails. The only reason is because there is also a lining of waterproof material under the silicone that is layered over the top. Plus each scale was individually placed on the tail. Those tails would cost way more then $5k is someone were to make those kind of tails.
I love this...only thing that annoys me is when they swim you can see their knees bend. But I would totally go to this convention. My sign is a water sign, so I am totally a mermaid. 😀
Willa Hufflepuff yeah it kinda bothers me to. Not the knee bending pert just all the people that are commenting about it even though OUR BODIES DONT WORK LIKE THAT!!!!! I mean come on if you can do it without bending your knees then I'll shut up but i know that no one can.
Cheshire Cat I'm water too!
Cheshire Cat yeah I know but then when you try it your knees have to bend unless you have a harder silicone tail
Cheshire Cat I'm an Air Sign and I could be a merman ♊
What sign?
This is amazing. i love all the different styles and characteristic's of all the merfolk. You really bring this dream to life.
She is such an amazing person. Love all the tails too!!! Beautiful!!!
This is getting me thinking
*what if mermaids rollplay as humans?!*
Scraps-To-Treasures omg plotwist 😶😂
she looks similar to Amy Lee :o
KitanaKombat Ikr
KitanaKombat so true!
KitanaKombat Yes!! I'm glad that i wasn't the only one who thought that! 😊
DarthKitana she does!
Mer = sea in French, I'm French and I just realised that !!!
Yet in French, it's called sirène and Si is pronounced just like sea... Ah ah 😁
Mindblown!
I think Sirene was more like the OLD folktale origin of mermaids being 'sirens' luring in sailors. Gotta love the age in the french language
mhm that's where mermaid comes from-
Omg it’s so crazy seeing Hannah here!!! I remember going to high school with her and riding the school bus with her and her younger brother as well. I’m glad to see how wonderful she’s doing💕
Can't complain about he money people buy 5,000 dollar wedding dresses just to wear for 1 day
plus those silicone tails are all completely handmade. Most of them are custom one of a kind too.
For somebody who doesn't swim well, the thought to having your legs restrained and to swim as well as they do sounds overwhelming. What these people have committed themselves to is a true and beautiful talent. I love it
Ykw once corona goes away, I'll go to a mermaid convention.
My fandoms can wait.
I just have to experience what it's like to be a *✨seggsy fish✨*
The most incredible thing about this video is that I watched all of it
Wow ! She actually looks like aerial

"So what do you want to be when you grow up?"
A biologist.
I'm already studying animals.
If people make fun of you because of what you want to be when you grow up just think about you making a good amount of money and by doing what you want to do, and them working at McDonald's or something!☺
a mermaid, obviously
I love all the stuff people make! So much talent!
When I was 12 I was obsessed with mermaids and I wanted to get a mermaid tail but they were so expensive. So I made my own with leggings, a piece of cardboard, and a pillow sack.
I would get a real one now, but I don’t have the confidence anymore lol. Love the confidence these women and men have though.
You can always practice in empty pools until you are confident.
How can she swim under water with her eyes open?
MlpSuomiPonit its easy
You can open ur eyes underwater! Its all blurry tho. I tried in my pool. Never swam in the ocean before so idk what its like there
MlpSuomiPonit practice
i can’t bc i’m halfway blind (literally) so ill be like OH LOOKS ITS A FISH and then run right into a rock
ocean is basically the same, but if you are near the shore then it can be all sandy and it can get in your eyes
I would love to be a mermaid here!!
The breath control is amazing. Beautiful hobby.
Just bought my first mermaid tail for Christmas this year! Cannot wait to try it out!
I want to be able to do this but the only problem is that I can even hold my breath for more than 12 sec
• TheJazzio • honestly practice makes perfect, but please be careful
That can be fixed! Luckily, breath-holding is a skill you can develop with practice, and you can practice it pretty much anywhere. Just be safe
some people can hold it for more than a minute and i can only hold it for 45 seconds
Is no one going to talk about the book she read to the kids? Rainbow Fish was my shit!
omg me too
There is nothing weirds about this. IT IS SO AWESOME! 😍 Being able to swim like a mermaid and meet other people is fun and fantastic!
4:40 this guy's tail looks so amazing! 💕😍😍
I'm so proud of my merfamily.
Merman Christian i say ur right people make fun of me at school because i like merpeople
Prince Of Atlantica just ignore them
Does anyone know where you can buy tails that don't show the outline of your legs/your knees?
This is wonderful! I hope that I get to attend one year 🧜♀️
atleast she isn't crazy cuz she knows she is human
