    I decided to be a fin fun mermaid because i always loved mermaids since i was little.I would watch people on YouTube i would go and see all the pretty tails . I always want to be just like them.I decided to go online and try to find mermaid tails then i saw the fin-fun mermaid tails and thought they were so pretty i had to have one.One day my parents said i could and we went online and got a mermaid tail.I was so excited i told everyone i knew.When i got my tail it felt weird at first,but it was okay after.It was so cool i swam almost every day and whenever i could.I love how it made me felt like i was a real mermaid and made me look like one too and now i can make all my friends feel like i did.

    I decided to become a fin-fun mermaid because it has always been a dream of mine to be a mermaid. I remember watching mermaid movies growing up, for example, “The Little Mermaid,” “Splash,” along with various other mermaid movies and dreaming about being a mermaid. Fin-fun gave me the chance to fulfill my dreams of becoming a real life mermaid. When I received my mermaid tail in the mail, I was so exited! I couldn’t believe that I was about to become a real mermaid! I immediately got in the pool after receiving my tail because I just couldn’t wait to swim with it. When I first put it on, it felt weird, but I couldn’t stop smiling because of how it made me look. It took me a short amount of time to learn how to swim with it, because it seemed to make swimming easier for me. I swim with my mermaid tail on mostly every day. I love how the tail transforms me into such a majestic, beautiful mermaid and brings my dreams to life.

    Madalynne says:

    Ever since I was little, I always thought of myself as a mermaid. Every time I went swimming, I would only swim as a mermaid. As I got older, my love of mermaids still grew. I searched and searched for a mermaid tail. I thought of making my own but I didn’t have the tools or the know how. Then I stumbled upon fin fun. I was so excited that I rushed to my mom and showed her. My eyes were full of joy and I could feel my little kid side coming back. I decided to get one and I checked the mail every day. I just couldn’t hold back my excitement. Finally, when I got home from band camp, there was a package at my door. It was my tail! I’ve had my tail for almost a year now and I’m still in love. I was always a mermaid at heart, but now I can physically be a mermaid. My senior year I plan to go to Hawaii with my best friend and we’re not going to have our tails as we swim in the sea. I actually want to invent a tail material that can keep you warm if you are in cold water or one that uses real looking and feeling scales so you can truly feel like a fish. Also, I want to make a type of contact that can act as goggles so you can have more of the mermaid look. So my mermaid transformation isn’t truly done yet. But hopefully I will be successful in my inventions and make it so everyone who has a dream of being a mermaid can have access to it.

    I am a mermaid, because I love the water. Being a mermaid, to me, makes me happy. Being in the water is like you have found your home. When I first received my beautiful FinFun mermaid tail as a surprise, it was like I had found a missing puzzle piece. My first swim in it was so amazing!! I just glided through the water, as if I had been doing it for years!! Mermaiding boosts confidence, as well as happiness, and I can’t thank FinFun enough for giving me those qualities. FinFun is absolutely right. Every girl deserves to dream. And for that, I thank them, for letting me dream. 🙂 thanks!!

    Mermaid Mania

    My mermaid Story started like this:

    When I was little (I lived in New York at the time) The TV show aired “H2O Just add water” I LOVED that show and still do today. Anyway, Me and my friends would fight over who was more like Cleo, Emma, Riki and Bella. We would play mermaids for HOURS. we would play mermaids at summer camp, my friends pool, the community pool and at the beach. I wished i could be a mermaid so bad. But every thing changed when I visited my cousins in California.
    When I went to California my cousin Avalon bought a mermaid tail from a website (not FinFun) I loved her tail I BEGGED my mom and dad for one but they said no and i was devastated.
    Fast Forward a few years, My parents got divorced and my mom and i moves to California in 2012. In October 2014 found FinFun’s website and
    went wild I wanted a tail so badly but my mom said it wasn’t in her budget so for Hanukkah and My Birthday i had enough money to buy a Rio Red tail, Top and a headpiece. When I Ordered my tail in March 2015 I thought it was the happiest day in my life. Once I got my tail i started a trend in my school 3 other girls got tails and they love them.
    I still have my tail and want other tails. I love mermaids and Fin Fun

    Hayden says:

    I have always wanted to be a mermaid when I was little, and I wasn’t one until about last year. I am a mermaid because, I love the ocean/pool, I have a tail, and I care very much about our and the oceans environment. When I first became a mermaid I was so excited because three of my friends and I were now mermaids, and we made a friendship group called the Four Fin Squad. We always go swimming together, at the pool or the beach. Being a mermaid to me is having fun and being happy.

    Mermaid Mariah says:

    This is the story of how I transformed into a mermaid. My two crazy brothers put a clear potion into my water and I drank it without knowing. The next time that I got into my pool to swim my legs started tingling. I watched as a beautiful green and blue shimmering tail appeared in the place of my legs. The potion that they gave me had turned me into a mermaid. I have never been so happy, now I can transform into a mermaid whenever I want! I am the luckiest girl alive!

    Mermaid Niele (Anna) says:

    YsI am a mermaid because I believe, this is what I think mermaids would be, in being optimistic, kind, and helpful. Plus, I LOVE the water! Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always dreamt of flying. Swimming is my way of flying. There is nothing like that moment of peace right after you dive into he water. All the problems, small things at the baxk of you mind, just fade away and I can relax. To me, mermaids are spme of the most relaxed creatures, and remembering that I am one helps me relax, too. I don’t have a tail, so the first time I became a mermaid would have to be the first time I tried the dolphin kick. I looked pretty silly at first, but after a bit it was like I had done this all my life! It was the most amazing expierience imagining I was a mermaid!

    I have always dreamed of being a mermaid. When I was young, I would grow my hair long all winter to feel it long and flowing in the swimming pool during the summer. One morning I woke up to find the blankets in my bed tucked around my legs and flared out at the end like a tail. My excitement quickly faded when I found that my legs were still legs. My first time actually transforming into a mermaid was last summer. I work for a small company that makes little girls’ dreams come true with special princess visits and, new to this summer, mermaid visits! It was just as magical for me as it was for the little girls to be adorned with shells, sparkles, and a FinFun tail to top it off. Other than playing a mermaid for work, I believe I am a mermaid because I was born in the middle of the summer heat, my favorite summer pastime is swimming, and I collect shells from my visits to the beach every year!

    i went to the beach one day with my friend and her mom. There was something a little weird about the day but to me, it didnt matter. Before i ate my lunch i wanted to have time to go in the water, so when we got settled on the beach, i put on my sunsreen and jumped right in the water. My friend and me were having so much fun we didnt even care that the water was cold. So, a while latter we found something that looked like a old bottle with glittery purple water in it. I smelled alot like oranges and i realy wanted to try it, so we did. Then wevalmost drowed. It felt like our legs had been glued together and covered with concreate. It was terrifying. So, we tryed to swim, and we noticed, WE WERE MERMAIDS!!!! My friend had a beautiful red and orange tail, and i had a gorgeous green and blue tail. So till’ this day, i still have my tail. Whenever i go in the saltwater at the beach, i turn into a mermaid. And its all thanks to that purple sparkly orange soda. (The End?)

    I scampered down the steps one foot, after the other until I reached the bottom
    “I hope I get the mermaid tail I’ve been hoping for.” I thought as I sat on the couch in the living room.
    Present, after present I waited. Until finally my grandma handed me a box that was large and square but flat. I opened it thinking “This is it, this is my mermaid tail.” I ripped open the packaging then ripped apart the tape on it I saw my monofin so big it was beautiful. Then I saw the drawstring bag with my tail in it. I could see the beautiful purple magenta color shining in the morning sunshine. I pull open the bag and pulled out the soft fabric I immediately put it on. It was beautiful so shiny with so much depth in each scale I LOVED it. Later that day I put it on for my 3 year old cousin he though I was a real mermaid. It made me feel so good. That evening I put it on again. A smile spread across my face as I thought of all the fun I would have swimming in the summer.

    Jodie says:

    Hi my name is Jodie and I am really excited that finfun mermaids are doing a huge give away. The first task was to write about our mermaid transformation, the thing is though i havent had a transformation that is way i want to enter. When i was younger i watch a TV show about mermaids after a while it finished and then i grew up a bit. You could say i missed my childhood a bit and i found it again and i watched it. Because I watched it i was on the wrong side of bullying. I thought that i was going through hell it was that bad, by the end i sufferded from depression it affected my school life and i was in a bad place but nothing stoped me from dreaming so in this entry i am going to have a dream about a transformation.
    My transformation, it was incredible at first i was scared and then confused and kind of excited. It was just the change its hard to explain first i was in my human form and for a second i was water the next thing i knew i had a tail. After i worked out what had happened to me i couldnt wait to use my tail. I swam for hours at a time with out coming up for air it was incredible. After my swim i was astounded by what i relised i could do i could move water and i could freeze it instantly, there are literally no words yet thousands to do like that show said ‘So much to do in shuch so little time’ thats what it was for me. Thank for reading my story i hope i am in with a chance of winning.

    I’m a mermaid because when I was littler I always thought mermaids were fascinating. They were magestical, and mythical to many other people/kids. To me they were free. They could do what they pleased. With their tails they had they could be free creatures through out the ocean. How it felt to be a mermaid in a FinFun Mermaid tail was fantastic! I felt like I was young again! Swimming in the pool of course was hard at first, but I got the hang of it quickly! I felt like I was free and it was amazingly easy after swimming for at least an hour! I love the FinFun mermaid tails so much! They are creative, amazing, and wonderful for girls to live up to their imaginations like me!

    (story of how it felt by my daughter, Jacie)

    How it felt to become a mermaid, To become a mermaid in a fin fun tail feels like your a REAL mermaid! Right when I thought of asking for it for my birthday I knew it would be fun because my friends have them and told me about them. When I saw the package a few weeks before my birthday I automatically knew what it was because I could see blue inside the box. A few days after I was going swimming with one of my friends and asked my mom if I could open it. Sadly she said I had to wait until my birthday. I was so excited!! On the morning of my birthday i put my tail on and asked my mom if I could go swimming after breakfast, She said yes! I went swimming and it felt so cool to have a Fin Fun mermaid tail! How it felt to become a mermaid was a wonderful feeling! I could swim so fast! Thank you Fin Fun!

    How it felt, a mermaid story. I was walking in the woods, I found a potion, I drank it I felt a little tingle, then the next thing I knew, I passed out and when I woke up I was in the ocean I looked down, and I had a tail! I passed out again, I woke up, and i was in my bed, I said ” late for school again!” I hope it was a dream!
