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.

It’s important to help people to achieve their dreams. The 1980s creation of the animated feature film “The Little Mermaid” instilled wonder in people of all backgrounds with a love of the water. 

LA Mermaid School and its parent company, Sheroes Entertainment, are the torchbearers 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.

LA Mermaid School classes are led by their professionally trained swimming mermaid school instructors and one of their certified American Red Cross lifeguards, but students are still expected to know basic swimming techniques.
