Mermaid Swim Experience with Afternoon Tea For Two Bedford (Adult & Child)

Mermaid/Shark Swimming Experience: The event offers a magical swimming experience for children where they get to wear mermaid/shark tails and explore a world of make-believe magic in the pool. The swimming session includes approximately 40 minutes of free play family fun.

Safety Briefing: There is a 15-minute safety briefing before the swimming session, emphasizing the importance of safety for both children and parents. All children are expected to have good swimming skills as well as adults.

Guardians of the Sea: Parents/guardians are required to accompany their little mermaids/sharks in the water at all times. A safety demo is provided to educate parents/guardians on how to dress their child, safely using the magic monofin and mermaid/shark tail, enter the pool correctly, and ensure their child is not too tired. Parents are encouraged to become "Guardians of the Sea" and take care of their precious little ones.

Afternoon Tea: The event includes a delicious mermaid/shark-themed Afternoon Tea, featuring dress-up for adults and kids, ocean-inspired education along with lots of fun surprises! This allows participants to immerse themselves in the world of make-believe magic.

Photographic opportunities: Participants will have memories to treasure with lots of photographic opportunities of their magical moments.

Important Notes: The event operates on a one-to-one basis for safety reasons. Able bodied swimming guardians/adults/over the age of 18 MUST accompany a child in the water. No child can enter the water without this assistance.

Warning: Mermaid tails or monofins can significantly reduce the person’s ability to swim and can only be used by competent swimmers under strict competent adult supervision at all times, regardless of swimming ability.

Safety is our main priority - you should be able to swim 25 metres, float on your back and should generally feel comfortable in water. Please watch the video below to ensure swimming ability requirements are met.

Please Note: All Children will need to be accompanied by an adult in the water.
