The mermaid swim fins and tails from Sun Tail transform little swimmers into pseudo-sirens of the sea—while under the watchful eyes of a nearby adult.

The star of this swimming show is the monofin. It’s a different take on a flipper that blends the just-right amount of flexibility and durability. It has a designated foot pocket that keeps kids' feet comfortable and in place. To complete the look, kids can pull a sparkly and stretchy mermaid tail on over the monofin (though it is plenty fun on its own).

There is a bit of a learning curve to get the hang of swimming with a tail, and kids will definitely need an adult nearby and some practice to get the hang of it.

Sun Tail Co-Founders (and neighbors) Cameron Taylor and Jessica and Eric Wiseman were inspired by a few mermaid-loving little girls. We can think of many kids who will give these tails two fins up.
