Fans of The Little Mermaid won’t have to look for Ursula to help them transform into their favorite sea sirens. At the Philippine Mermaid Swimming Academy, you can finally learn why it’s hotter under the water.
With locations in Metro Manila, Cebu City and Boracay Island, adults and children alike can take a dip in a rented tail and learn all the basics of mermaid swimming, or “mermaiding” as they call it.

With locations in Metro Manila, Cebu City and Boracay Island, adults and children alike can take a dip in a rented tail and learn all the basics of mermaid swimming, or “mermaiding” as they call it.
Their website explains, “PMSA is the first in the Philippines and in the world to introduce a ‘school’ concept for mermaid swimming.”
They aim to make “mermaiding” accessible to everyone regardless of age or gender.
Classed start at around $40 for 2 hour sessions.
Programs are structured in safe and fun environments.
Little mergirls and merboys are always under careful supervision.
The website claims kids take to it like, well, a fish to water!
The academy was founded in 2012 by Anamie Saenz and Normeth Preglo, both hoping to start a new fitness craze. It took off right away!
The concept of mermaid swimming is quite simple: swimmers wear mermaid tails and learn how to use their core muscles to propel themselves forward gracefully (like a mermaid).
Classes aren’t held in an actual school environment either. Soon-to-be mermaids are trained along Boracay Island’s White Beach and in rivers and lakes.
So what will you actually learn? Everything from how to swim without floaters in the ocean, to how to wear and care for your mermaid tail.
There are also classes for mermaid scuba diving and mermaid water scootering.
And if you think this school is just for kids with Disney obsessions, you’re wrong!
People of all ages (and genders) come to the academy to learn the art of mermaid swimming.
A 2-hour introductory course will only set you back $40—which includes the use of a mermaid tail and a photo of your experience.
Money well spent, if you ask me!
As you progress through the lessons, you can graduate to “modern mermaiding,” and interact with some fishy friends!
