Tops Tails Mermaid Experience

Welcome to Tops Tails Mermaid Swimming 🧜‍♀️🌊✨

Welcome to South Wales’ premier boutique mermaid swimming academy! We operate out of first-class facilities, primarily hosting our pod at Canolfan Pentre Awel in Llanelli.

Whether your swimmer is stepping into a tail for the very first time, completing progressive skills in our multi-week blocks, or joining in for a parent-and-child experience, our mission is to blend technical aquatic confidence with pure underwater magic.

What to Expect at Tops Tails

Strict Safety Ratios (Max 6 Swimmers): We believe safety and personal coaching come first. Every single session is strictly capped at 6 participants per pod, supervised under our dedicated 1:1 model (Lead Instructor in the water, Deck Wrangler on poolside).

Skill Prerequisites: To ensure the safety and enjoyment of every mermaid, all participants must be aged 6+, able to swim 25 metres unassisted, and tread water comfortably for 1 minute. A quick water competency assessment is conducted at the start of every session.

Professional Tails & Monofins Included: High-grade monofins and tail skins are provided for every booking. We teach swimmers how to safely fit, swim in, and quick-release from their fins.

Progressive Learning: Through our signature Pod Passport, swimmers develop authentic dolphin undulation, core stability, underwater barrel rolls, and surface glides.

📍 Venue & ArrivalLocation: Canolfan Pentre Awel, Llanelli.

Arrival Time: Please arrive poolside 10–15 minutes before your session start time. This allows ample time for register check-in, changing, and fitting mermaid tails and monofins.

Late Arrivals: To ensure swimmers do not miss the mandatory safety briefing, late entries into the pool cannot be permitted once the water assessment begins.

🦺 Swim Safety & Pool AssessmentSafety is our top priority. Mermaiding involves swimming with both feet secured in a monofin, which requires water competence and comfort in deeper water.

Age Requirement: Swimmers must be aged 6 years or older to wear a mermaid tail.

Mandatory Water Competency Check: Every session begins with a brief in-water safety check in standard swimwear before tails are issued. Swimmers must comfortably demonstrate: Swimming 25 metres unaided without stopping or touching the pool floor.Treading water for at least 30 seconds.

Note: If an instructor determines a participant is not yet water-safe in a monofin, they will not be permitted to wear the tail for safety reasons.

🎒 What to BringSwimwear: A snug, well-fitting swimsuit, two-piece, or trunks works best underneath the tail fabric.

Goggles or Swim Mask: Highly recommended for underwater vision and games.

Towel & Warm Layers: For poolside comfort before and after the swim.
