Or not.
Doesn't look like you are being forced to do this.

I am not a mermaid. I don't do water.

 

[WondersOfLife]

Eh.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Where else will the new generation of mermaid showgirls come from?

 

[Andrew C]

This sounds like something my daughter would like. Therefore, I will not be telling her about it.

If I put on a fin, people may think I'm a Manatee.

I especially like this since I applaud your profile avatar.

These are hugely popular in beach resort/ vacation destinations. Makes sense they jump on the bandwagon.

Disney isn’t running it...

I think it’s silly, but not a money grab. I’d be surprised if there’s enough demand to run it at four resorts, however.

Thank you. I admire yours as well.

I'm not a scuba expert, but this does not sound safe.

When I was a kid I used to pretend I was a mermaid in the swimming pool. This would be right up my alley!

 

[Spash007]

Sadly I'd do this for my daughter. Her one wish our last trip was to be a mermaid. Apparently we were there too early.

I would totally do it if I had a young daughter or grand child that wanted to do it. (My kids are all grown, but too young for having their own kids, so I will have to wait on this.)

I'd almost sign DD10 up, but I'm not gonna be at any of these resorts. It'd be a waste of time to get up and go do the swim then get kicked out of the resort pool because we are not guests there.

Equipment, instructor, insurance, other overheads. It costs to run these types of classes.

Not sure if a good idea. It opens them up to liability. Even if perfectly safe at WDW, a child may be inspired at home.

Mermaid tail pool toys increases the risk of drowning, new study finds

It doesn't take a fin for that, I blame the Little Mermaid for many attempts my kids has made to sing under water lol
