Meet the Real Life Mermaids!

Has anybody ever told you that mermaids aren’t real? They’re a myth, a legend, a fantasy creature that only exists in fairy tales? Well guess what? They are WRONG! And we have the proof…

Meet the real life mermaids working at the Florida Aquarium. These ladies, from a young age, dreamed of being a mermaid – probably just like you. Their dream came true when they were accepted onto the mermaid programme at one of the USA’s biggest aquariums. Not only do these girls get to dress up like mermaids and swim through the water with the wildlife, they also perform choreographed routines for audiences and take visitors diving with fishes and sharks.
