Mermaid Tips
Looking After Your Tail
Sunlight will fade the MERMAGICAL colours.
Do not wash your tail in a washing machine or tumble drier.
Let it drip dry away from the sun.
Do not, bleach, iron etc… fresh water only.
Try not to push off the side of the pool with your tail, this will add considerably to wear and tear.
Try not to stand in your tail in the water, again this will hurt it. (hold on to the side and flap around instead)
Always wash it out in fresh water before drip drying. (oh… don’t drip dry over your parents carpet.. towels are good)
When on the side of the pool sit on a towel or mat, we do not want the bottom to wear and tear. (remember its only swimming costume material)
Keep tail and fin out of the sun when drying, Pushing off the side of the pool and standing on your tail can damage the fin, please be careful.
Mermaids and Mermen must be able to swim at least 25 to 50 Meters unaided and without stopping.
Tread Water in both the shallow and deep end.
