CORRECTION: Merfolk Academy-May 24



Rockledge, FL- Brevard County Central Area Parks and Recreation is hosting a Merfolk academy from 5:30pm to 7:00pm on Saturday, May 24, at McLarty Aquatic Center located at 790 Barton Blvd. Rockledge, FL 32955.

Ever dream of being a mermaid or merman? At Merfolk Academy we will make that dream come true. We start our Merfolk-in-training with basic swimming skills before transitioning into the monofin. Instructors will teach safe fin use and proper breathing while swimming.

Participants must complete a swim test before registering for the academy. The swim test consists of being able to swim 12 yards without stopping, being able to float on their front or back.

Merfolk tails and monofins are provided. Space is limited to 10 participants and mermaid tail size. The cost will be $28.94 per student. For additional information, call (321) 302-1658
