Join me, Freya the mermaid, for an introduction to mermaiding!

The dream of becoming a mermaid has never been so accessible! I invite you to the Archipel swimming pool in Sainte-Maxime , in the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Take advantage of the mermaid lessons : it's the perfect opportunity to transform yourself into a magical creature of the sea for an hour.

A safe Mermaid Course in Sainte-Maxime

During this one-hour activity, children (from 7 years old, who know how to swim and are very comfortable in the water) will learn the basics of mermaid swimming. To make the experience complete, I lend each little mermaid or merman a monofin and a mermaid tail .

To help them, boards and noodles are also provided. The activity is supervised by myself and the pool's lifeguards.

The benefits of a magical aquatic activity

Beyond the fun aspect, mermaiding is a very beneficial activity for children:

A complete sport : mermaid swimming strengthens the core and leg muscles and improves endurance.
Water comfort : By learning to swim with a tail, children gain confidence and fluidity in the water.
A boundless imagination : this experience allows them to live a dream and give free rein to their imagination.

To immortalize this magical moment, a photo session is planned at the end of the course during the Mermaid Course in Sainte-Maxime.
