This is great advice! I've had to pack for diving and kayaking, and it helps to have a list. I wrote the kayaking list on a piece of old shower curtain (plastic) with a marker so it is waterproof. Dive slates are nice notepads for wet spaces too (they work underwater, with a normal pencil). A checklist for when you're about to get in the water is good too.
I know you're taking a break from everything at the moment, and I hope it's giving you the healing you need ! But I've been watching all your old content and being reminded how much of a gem you are. You've really helped me with my mermaid journey and you're one of the top creators on the topic. Take care of yourself, Courtney
WOW, i know that ... my Bag is even bigger than yours and stuffed with at least 5 different towels (just in case, ´cause you never know, right?) and almost the same stuff you have in your Bag !!! Nose clip, Goggles, earplugs and what not, undies and stuff for your skin and hairs ... oh Boy ... such a heavy Bag but necessary! And since i´m always a clumsy Girl i keep my First Aid stuff in my Bag too!!! Just a mini first aid bag but you never know when you are going to need them ... better safe than sorry, right? Love your Video! Stay safe and happy swimming!
Absolutely! It never hurts to be prepared!
What do you call that mermaid tail back
I have a mermaid bag with my rose shell and my drawing stuff! Also my mermaid makeup
Just realised I didn't have my notifications turned on for you! Having a binge watch of your videos I've missed!
Aww thank you! I know the notifications thing is a nightmare but thank you so much for checking in and watching!
At my first mer pod meet, I forgot to bring a towel so I went home wet! Imagine sitting on a quarter of a bum cheek to not get the seat wet and balancing against the breaking of the bus driver!! Luckily, my home is four bus stops away from the pool, which also has their own bus stop. Courtney, you're so organized! I just have a really big bagpack with lots of zipped pockets with kids 2 in 1 shampoo, after swim hair cream, towel, monofin, swimmers, tail, plastic bags, first aid kit, goggles and some change for the pool and a little extra for an ice cream or drink! I usually bring my own food cos the pool canteen is expensive!
Aww man! I've done that! I had to call my Mom to bring me a towel because I forgot one and my hear was really long at the time haha! I like to bring my own snacks too! Thanks for watching!
drybags are endlessly useful, use them for kayaking, and great for the beach or pool too!
You pulled out the garbage bags and i started laughing cause holy cow every time you do have to have them! Things you dont expect to need as a mermaid though!
I know right! Not to worry though, I've been using the same bags for years now and I do just wash them if they need it. Since they are plastic they'll last forever... Thank you for watching!
I'm brand new to mermaiding, so can you use the garbage bag to move your tail around without getting your car soaked? As long as you don't leave it in there because mildew and mold and other bad things.
You inspire me so much!!❤️❤️
Aww! Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for watching!
Same, my duffle bag is denim and hold A LOT of stuff. It also has flowers! 😃
Dry bag! 😀 My dad uses these when we go kayaking. They're great! Super clever idea using it for mermaiding!
I would be so lost without it! It’s the only way to contain a soaking wet mermaid tail haha!
Love your earrings!!!! 😍
Thank you! Be sure to check out the Slug and Kraken on Etsy (www.etsy.com/ca/shop/TheSlugAndKraken) her work is truly a marvel and I definitely plan on adding to my earring collection hehe!
Courtney Mermaid Thanks❤️
can you do a hack video
as in helpful stuff for mermaidsssssss
Hang in there! I do have a video with specific mermaid hacks scheduled for the end of Feb!
good stuff! I have already forgotten the dive mask and had to drive home to get it...twice.
So WRITE A LIST!!! (uh, what did I forget???)
like this comment if you are a mermaid too and you are about to go swimming! also, relply with where you got your tail! Mine is the tidal teal tail form finfun
Greenbunbun mine is the Lotus moon from finfun! Just got it yesterday❤️
i should get one of these
you should have safety pins in there too. never know when a top will break or a seam
our dive instructor always told us to put ear drops in our ears after a dive, comes as ear drops, or use rubbing alocohol, gets the water out of your ears... cant use ear plugs over a certain depth
I'm used to a dive mask and found goggles disconcerting. I might get used to them, or maybe it's easier to just open eyes underwater!
Where/ how did you get your mermaid certification card?
I'm curious about the card. What does it say/ what information of yours does it include? What are the rules for that area that requires a card? What did you have to go through to get the card? (via that area.) Also: Do you know how many stamps are needed to get a letter to Canada from the US? I'd love to send you some mail!
so in my local area most of the pools have banned mermaiding and there are no mermaiding schools in my area. I've been mermaiding for 6years now and am extremely comfortable, however due to the ban I can't practice any new tricks. do you have any advice?
Where do you get the license?? I'm going to be a mermaid when I grow up on Friday or Saturday I'm going to get my 2nd mermaid tail called sweet dreams
The certificate is location based specific to our area and not worldwide. You will need to research the rules and guides in your area. Congrats on getting a second tail! ♥
Courtney Mermaid thank you so much that really helps!!! I'm so happy you actually replied! 😁( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡ )(☞ ͡ ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡ ͡°)☞
I have a finfun bag
How do you get a certification card for mermaiding?
What is backpack mermaid tale carrier called
How do you get in and out of your tail discreetly so you don’t ruin the magic for the kids?
How and where do you get a certification that you're cool to swim in a mermaid tail, I need one desperately. How do you dry your mermaid tails? If I'm swimming in a Springs or something i'll usually put my tail in a plastic bag, get in the car, and then set it out to dry outside on a hanger to air dry, is that healthy for the tail?
To answer your first question there is no globally recognized certification for mermaid tail swimming currently. The certification I have is specifically for swimming in my city. For your second question I also transport my tails in a plastic water-tight bag. I always rinse my tails out beforehand then put them in the bag. If I need to wash it out more thoroughly, I do that when I get home. I always lay my tails out flat on a drying rack to dry. I hope that helps!
Courtney Mermaid it did! Thank you so much, I just don't want to ruin my tails, thank you 🌊😇
Where did you get your mermaid certification card? The one that says your okay to swim in the tail? Do you have to take classes for it?
It is specific only to one of the areas I swim in. Every pool will have it's own rules and guidelines for the use of mermaid tails. Check with your local pool to see what their rules are.
Courtney Mermaid thank you!
Have you ever scuba dived in your tail?
No I haven't yet done that. I have trouble pressurizing my ears but I hope one day to get out into open waters!
Good question
Where did you get the certificatation
It is a local certificate for mermaids in the Burnaby, BC area so it isn’t something that is available worldwide.
I hate wet socks, it feels so weird.
SO MUCH. Wet socks are the worst. Especially wet socks into shoes. Yuck! Haha! Thanks for watching!
business cards good idea! I met several people who I wanted to hook up with later for swimming or kayaking. Useful to hand out contact info for anyone interested in swimming with you...
I want a card
How do you get a certification that you're safe to swim in a mermaid tail?
The certification is something that is available for Burnaby pools only at this time. There is no real mermaid-certification out there short of a AIDA 1 Freediving certification.
@@CourtneyMermaid Thank you!
Why dont you use contact lenses? I am really comfortable with that, i never use my glasses
I like my glasses and contacts don't work for me in the water.
I wear contact lenses also underwater, i have never lost😂
Why do you need a mermaid ID ?
Some pools in certain districts will require a swim test. The card shows I have already completed it and passed and therefore don't need to do it again at another location.
