Comments
Fin2Fit Isle of Wight is proud to be the Islands first mermaid school and Professional Mermaid. "Where your inner mermaid or merman can become reality."
Operating as usual
It is with great regret that as of the 2nd April the IW Mermaid Academy will not be teaching. With the cost of living going up and a reduced number of pupils we are no longer able to survive
Both Ian and Gemma are very sad as they have enjoyed teaching and seeing the smiles that end up on the faces of all that have been part of the journey
Thankyou to the waterside pool for the last few years
NEWS FLASH
Ian has been able to do some paperwork this morning and hopes that this will help him for the next few months
He's sat down and worked out everyone's payment dates up till December he will private msg everyone so they know when the next payment is due.
When you have confidence to relax in the water and trust in yourself you can move more freely as a Mermaid

Well done Mermaid Lily on gaining the highest Medal achievable to date. You have worked so hard for this.

Happy Day π
These girls give it their all. Keep it going girls.
So we had a very special visit today!!!
The beautiful Mermaid Marianne came to see all the mermaids, and wow what a morning. She has also kindly donated one of her books, that she has written herself on Mermaid Crafting (which will be in the pictures) so that we can give away as a prize for our next competition. π
Thankyou so much Marianne you really made the girls morning, they loved practicing posing, blowing hearts, bubbles and rings. This has givin the girls inspiration for their Mermaiding future.
She was so impressed with you all young Mermaids in the making. π
THANKYOU AGAIN... ππ¦πππ§ββοΈπ§ββοΈπ§π¦π¦
