    How adorable is Geralt, though, just sneakin around in the background?!

      My best part of the video was when Geralt was wondering around behind you and the part where you showed the swimming technique

    • @WidgetTheMermaid
      @WidgetTheMermaid 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My favourite part is when you tell us a little about your background! I learned more about you! :) Also great tips! I'm gonna try these out! And your swimming with the LUNA was fintastic and your mermaid leggings! :D

      As a cat lover myself I thought geralt was very adorable and I loved the little talking bit you added to him. I like how you added the pitfalls. I am new to mermaiding and find it hard to see what I am doing wrong though my friend and merwrangler/fiance have tried to explain it to me I can't quite see it. You did a great job at showing me HOW to move and the why and what too. Def a fan now

    This is so helpful!! i imagine for real mermaids the difference between having their arms to their sides vs having them clasped over their heads would be like the difference between walking and running lol

    I was today old when I learned that the swimming technique I was using after watching the mermaids in Weeki Wachee, Florida was called a Dolphin kick. It just looked super efficient and I started doing it. I found I could spend longer underwater because I was using less effort to move. Today while filming I managed 50 meters one one breath. I will try some of your pointers next time.

  • @Skyv111
    @Skyv111 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    what I've seen many mermaids do and I don't like so much... is the moments when the knees make such a sharp angle, I think *that* is what makes it look less natural and fluid. I don't know if one can do anything about it, though.

    • @skypaver989
      @skypaver989 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      My swim coaches said that bending the knees too much creates excess drag while doing underwater dolphin kicks. You can keep your legs straight but not rigid and work on having the motion come from your chest press and core strength just like mermaid echo said

  • @OshiHidra
    @OshiHidra 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Thank you for this vid! I always sucked at butterfly back when I swam competitively, but taking your pointers to heart, I had no problem getting the rhythm down the first time with my Linden monofin. It feels so natural!
    (and whew boy did I feel it in my shoulders after)

  • @mw1838
    @mw1838 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Thank you so much! I ordered a mono fin with the money I got for my birthday, when I dolphin kick, I look like a kraken outside of water. I will use these tips and update you with my results!

  • @nonyabizness956
    @nonyabizness956 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This was super helpful, it's great that I find both mermaiding and belly dancing so interesting, perhaps learning both can make each better! You may not be a swim instructor but this was easily the most helpful video on mermaiding technique I've seen so far! 🥰

  • @mariateppen6226
    @mariateppen6226 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Dolphin kick is the first method for swimming that i learned, so this comes naturally for me.

  • @nvapisces7011
    @nvapisces7011 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I believe that something important that's left out is to practice breath hold. Won't be able to stay underwater that long if you can't hold your breath that long. For me, I can only hold my breath for 3 minutes static, and that is already pushing it when I start getting contractions close to 3min. Haven't tried out breath hold yet while swimming

    I would A regular kick purse, then push your legs in position and just use your arms.
    Or keep your legs closer together. Get more speed in your arms and head straight a full way, and if you find yourself, want to go downwards and swim back up. Make sure you light stroke your belly button. Before float enough To flow up.
