Do you know what celebrations await us this month? That's right! Christmas and New Year's Eve... or just New Year, as it's also called. This year has been a bit of a wild year. We had to deal with extreme storms all over the world. In Switzerland, there was practically no summer. But if you traveled this year, at least you were able to enjoy the summer while abroad. Besides the storms and the somewhat rising corona cases, this year was actually quite alright. I'm sure we all accomplished something this year. For example, I was able to maintain my grades at school according to my expectations. On top of that, I had my confirmation in September. Confirmation is a ceremony in church where you confirm your faith. It was a beautiful ceremony! Of course, it first took place in the church and then we went to the restaurant with our whole family. There were about 30 of us. But that's just my family that lives in Switzerland and Germany. I have a lot more in Brazil. So, now to the point! Do you have all your Christmas presents yet? No? Then it's about time ;)
Surprise your loved ones with a mermaid fin of the highest quality. The mermaid fins in our assortment are perfect for an adorable Christmas gift. The smallest among you will love this gift! But also the big ones will enjoy this beautiful mermaid fin.
Our mermaid fins are a product of Sun Tail in the USA and have the best American quality available. The mermaid fins feature a mix of 2 fabrics. They are 80% polyester, which is the largest part, and 20% elastane. Spandex is a fiber that is very stretchy and flexible. Or as the name says, very elastic. Thanks to this mix, the mermaid fin allows your skin to breathe. Even on hot days, you won't feel hot at all because this perfect mix is super light on your skin.
Info on the use of the mermaid fin
It is important to note that the mermaid fins are not a swimming aid, in fact, they make swimming a little more difficult. Therefore, we recommend to put on such a mermaid fin only if you have good swimming skills and your parents supervise you. Since you have your feet in a so-called "monofin" while swimming, they are close together. It is also an advantage if you master the dolphin swim or know how to do it. If you don't know how to swim yet and would like to get one of these mermaid fins as a present, either for Christmas or for your birthday, then visit one of our swimming courses. There you will learn everything about the mermaid fin. However, the courses are currently paused and we expect to resume them in October. In any case you will be informed on our website!
Now let's move on to the monofins that I mentioned in the top section. The monofins are also a product of Sun Tail. They are made of flexible plastic. The monofin is made of a fin blade and a neoprene foot pocket. The fin blade is very sturdy and at the same time also very flexible, so you don't have to put all your strength at risk while swimming. It is also very resistant in the water and moves you forward quickly. The neoprene foot pocket is attached to the fin blade with velcro straps. You put your feet in 2 openings at the top of the foot pocket. When they are properly attached, you can gently tighten the velcro that is in the area of the feet. Not too tight, otherwise your feet will hurt! This velcro closure provides more support. The foot pocket is great. Since you attach it to your fin, it prevents your feet from slipping out. Also, the neoprene foot pocket is so comfortable that you won't feel any pain while swimming. But before you think about slipping your feet into the foot pocket attached to the fin blade, you must of course first put your mermaid costume over the monofin. This is easily done through an opening at the end of the costume. If you want to know how to put on the mermaid fin properly, then read our instructions.
When buying some sets where the mermaidfins are available with or without a bikini, you can choose between 2 colors of the fin blade. If you want a different color, you can also buy the monofin separately. The fin blades are of course available in different colors. The foot pocket is always the same haha;)
The mermaidfins as well as the monofins are of course also available in different sizes. For every mermaid the perfect fitting mermaidfin! There are 3 children's sizes and 3 youth and adult sizes. The children sizes are M, L and XL. The youth and adult sizes are JS JM and JL. These are American sizes. For the children sizes the monofin KEIKI is suitable. The KEIKI monofin is designed for children with shoe size EU 30 up to and including EU 38. For the youth and adult sizes there is the NUNUI monofin. This is then intended for youths and adults with shoe size EU 38 up to and including EU 43.
The difference between the two monofins are their sizes. The NUNUI monofin is slightly larger and also heavier than the KEIKI monofin. The foot part of the NUNUI monofin is also slightly larger, as the fin blade is also larger. The quality, flexibility and comfort of the foot part is the same.
The mermaidfins from Sun Tail charm with the best quality and the different options to choose from. You too can discover our wide assortment and surprise your loved ones on such a special day with a brilliant mermaidfin for the summer of 2022! But you don't necessarily have to wait for summer. After all, it's still about 6 months from now until the official start of summer 2022. While you're waiting for summer, you can also go to the indoor pool. There are many indoor pools in Switzerland. Choose the one you like best and have fun!
