What is LA Mermaid School ? 

The Los Angeles Mermaid School, commonly called "LA Mermaid School" was the USA's first mermaid school open to the public for mermaid and merman training and education.

​

The school was founded by professional mermaids and developed the concept of recreational and party-based mermaid training as we know it.

​

All of the school's teachings are based on ongoing  input from the input of lifeguards, SCUBA instructors, and top-ranked mermaid entertainers.

Why Was The School Started?

When LA Mermaid School was founded there were no community class or training sources for mermaiding in the United States. While Weeki Wachi Springs in Florida had existed since 1946 and had trained professional performers at their location for their shows, there wasn't a source for community members or recreational mermaids to access training - something that posed a very real water safety risk.

 

As the stories of professional mermaids was rising and interest was gaining the professional performers from our parent company were frequently asked by party guests "how do you become a mermaid?" In an effort to promote water safety and give "mermaids for a day" a safe and welcoming environment LA Mermaid School was founded.

Why Is This Important?

It's important to help people to achieve their dreams. The 1980s creation of the animated feature film "The Little Mermaid" instilled a wonder in people of all backgrounds with a love of the water. LA Mermaid School and its parent company, Sheroes Entertainment, are the torch bearers that lead the Unites States mermaid industry in believing that every person, regardless of gender, race, orientation, or body type should have access to personalized, attentive, training and education.

 

As part of our belief that we are all "one ocean," our company welcomes people from around the world to discover the joy of mermaiding.
