1:1 and 2:1 Mermaid Experiences
Includes all of what’s included in the Group Mermaid Experience, however having less mermaids and mermen, will give us more time for perfecting moves, photography and a more individual experience.
Photoshoots
All lessons and parties can come with a photo shoot, however for the inexperienced swimmer, if you are too young for a lesson or if you would like to just have your picture taken wearing a beautiful mermaid tail, this is the experience for you. It will be usually held on the beach and during the at a local pool, however during the winter months we use various pools and props to have the best background and surroundings for your pictures.

Dorset’s South Coast offers MERMAGICAL Beaches and the Jurassic Coastline, with some of the prettiest places in the UK to have a Mermaid Photo Shoot. Beach photo shoots start in the Spring months through to October.
Obviously weather permitting.

We will be involved in beach cleans throughout the year, from spring to Autumn this will include a free Picture wearing a Mermaid Tail (weather permitting) We will advertise dates of these on our Facebook page and would love the Mayim Mermaid Pod to get to gather to help protect and preserve our local beaches.
