I am STILL seeing people who use dangerous, improper, and sometimes stolen art tails for mermaid businesses and it’s NOT OK to put children’s lives at risk so you can make a profit. So I am calling you all out !
*I will be updating this list frequently. If you have doubts about anyone doing mermaid gigs or teaching mermaid lessons email me! Haleymermaid@yahoo.com I DO NOT get paid to teach tail safety or to help you find a safe mermaid I do this because I genuinely care about the safety of each and every person who wants to try mermaiding.
Tail Safety
THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO BUY OR USE A KNOCKOFF MERMAID TAIL! They don’t have proper monofins so they are very dangerous both in water and on land even with supervision and regardless of swim abilities! They are often made with stolen art printed on the fabric which is both illegal and morally wrong. Let me say it again. THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO BUT OR USE A KNOCKOFF MERMAID TAIL!

In order to safely swim as a mermaid you MUST have ALL 3!
1.) be a very strong swimmer
2.) have a properly made tail with a proper monofin inside
3.) never swim alone!
I cannot stress this enough!
If you want to start a mermaid business that deals with tails (mermaid swim school, mermaid boutique that sells tails, freelance mermaid gigs like birthday parties) the FIRST thing you should do is TAIL SAFETY RESEARCH! I have done all the research for you! It literally couldn’t be any easier I did all the work for you already all you have to do is click the link. ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️https://haleymermaid.com/pages/tail-safety ⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️
I have info, infographics, and a free online class to learn how to pick a properly made tail and how to be tail ready.
If you don’t even know enough about tail safety to pick a proper tail over a knockoff you should not be teaching mermaid lessons.
It’s harsh yes but death is a possibility with an improper mermaid tail and so many people don’t seem to understand that. Death is a risk with any mermaid tail btw. Each year in America there are estimated 4000 fatal drownings and 8000 nonfatal drownings. That’s 32 drownings per day.
AGAIN: In order to safely swim as a mermaid you MUST have ALL 3!
1.) be a very strong swimmer
2.) have a properly made tail with a proper monofin inside
3.) never swim alone!
The List of Mermaid Businesses with no regard for tail safety
1.) Aquamermaid
DO NOT HIRE, APPLY TO WORK FOR, OR LISTEN TO, AQUAMERMAID! Read about why here: https://haleymermaid.wixsite.com/realmermaid/post/the-biggest-scammer-in-the-mermaid-community
They do not care about safety. The owner Marielle knowingly wears stolen art and teaches very unsafe mermaid practices like making your own homemade monofin. She sends untrained mermaids to gigs with no assistance, insurance, or certifications and doesn’t care if they use dangerous tails or not. She also doesn’t care if the work conditions are safe or not. Once requesting someone swim in a busy and polluted marina.
tail is a dangerous knockoff… she sends people to do gigs and mermaid lessons who are either untrained and have no knowledge of tail safety (not even enough to pick a proper tail over a knockoff) or they don’t care enough about tail safety to get a proper tail. I wouldn't trust either with a pool full of children would you?
Oh look! Another one! 🤦🏼♀️
2.) The Enchanted Mermaid Boutique in Kansas.
This boutique uses ONLY knockoff tails for their mermaid performers
and sells the knockoffs for kids. they have been contacted multiple times by multiple mermaids. they know they are knockoffs and they don’t care.
