There's an awesome new aquatic opportunity opening in Nashville that kids are going to flip for. Aquamermaid School gives kids ages 7 and older — and adults — the chance to swim like magical mermaids and mermen.
The school offers a one-hour Discovery Class for $60 as well as four-week ($200) and eight-week ($360) lesson packages. Parents can take classes with their kids, and there are two specific ones involving dads — King Neptune/Little Mermaids (dads and daughters) and Daddy Shark/Barracuda (dads and sons). Party packages are also available.
The school supplies the mermaid tails for the classes, and you can also purchase your own.
Participation requirements include being comfortable in the water, being able to swim at least 25 meters, treading water for one minute and floating on your front and back without assistance before swimming in a mermaid tail.
