"Thank you so much for the mermaid experience. My daughter Abigail loved it. She has her own mermaid tail and apart from going abroad, we have struggled to find anywhere that will allow her to use it. Doing this made her day."

"I just wanted to say thank you for the Mermaid Experience this morning. My Granddaughter really loved her time with you and your colleague. She was so pleased with the locked notebook and has already written secret things in it.

I also really enjoyed watching from the side."

"My daughter and 9 of her friends had a fantastic mermaid party to celebrate her 11th birthday with Jo and Sarah.  It was easy start to finish!  Jo provided loads of information to my enquiry; she was prompt and professional.

Jo's tails are beautiful and the mermaids learnt many skills in the lovely pool and facilities within DW fitness. Jo assesses all the children before they entered the water with their tails.  Parents were able to view the party comfortably if they wished to. 

At the end of the party the mermaids all received a certificate and gift which they all loved.

I decided also to have the party catered by Kim at DW. Kim decorated the space to a mermaid theme and the food was all prepared to order. Kim and the staff were all welcoming and very helpful.

Brilliant party, thank you Jo! Charlotte is now looking forward to her mermaid swimming session this weekend."

"My 10 year old has just had a mermaid swim session with Jo, absolutely amazing, she loved it. It was very well run and all the girls got lots of mermaid swimming in and the smiles on their faces said it all! Would highly recommend this for any kids who love the water. Thanks so much Jo x"

"My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her group session mermaid swim yesterday! Both instructor mermaids were very attentive, encouraging and caring, providing a safe and exciting session for all the girls of various ages. The little gift bag at the end containing a rainbow scrunchy and mermaid purse was a lovely finishing touch. X "

"Thanks so much for the swim session today. Juliet spoke of nothing else for our whole holiday and the session more than lived up to expectations! She was also thrilled with the goody bag treat at the end. I will be keeping an eye out for future events."

"My daughter and her best friend had a birthday mermaid session today. Jo was amazing with the girls, they had so much fun and can’t wait to do it all again soon. The highlight of the day for me was definitely hearing them screaming ‘this is the best day ever’ once they’d finished their swim! Thank you Jo, you made their day xx "  

"Thank you Jo for making not only my babies dream come true but her mummies aswell" 

"Amy had a one 2 one mermaid experience with Jo and, her words "this is the best day of my life". Jo was extremely patient and encouraging and she ensured that Amy really got the best out of her birthday experience. Thanks so much Jo, highly recommended xx " 

"Absolutely amazing experience for my daughter and her friend as a Christmas gift!
They loved every minute ❤️
The session was run so well by Jo, enough prep and then fin time with a gift at the end and lots of photos to keep!
Highly recommend and we will be booking again! Thank you x "

"My 2 girls had a wonderful experience this afternoon, Mermaiding with Jo. they had so much fun and haven't stopped talking about it. I would totally recommend it, and makes a wonderful gift. Jo sent us beautiful vouchers for Christmas presents. A must for all wannabe mermaids & men 🧜‍♀️ "

"My daughter did a private mermaid experience with her friend today - they had an amazing time and can’t wait to do again! Jo was brilliant with the girls and explained instructions clearly for them and always with a smile on her face! Highly recommend for any keen mermaids!! "

"my daughter had a 121 with Jo today and she had such a wonderful experience, very different and makes a fab gift. My daughter also loved her little gift and the photos are beautiful. We will be returning x "

"We now have an absolutely ecstatic mermaid! An amazing experience for her, Jo was so helpful and patient, and our mermaid was exhausted but elated when she'd finished! (there's more to swimming with a tail than you'd think!) I think she'll still be smiling into the New Year! "

 "I cannot recommend Gone Mermaiding enough. My daughter has wanted to be a mermaid for ages and she thoroughly enjoy herself. Her dream has come true, she has not stop talking about it and already is talking about “next” time. The small group made it a very intimate experience and the little gift was a lovely touch. The actual lady herself “Jo” was so nice and friendly and brilliant with the children. It was a lovely treasured memory and we cannot wait to get our photographs, of being an actual mermaid. Thank you Jo for making my daughters wish come true and making it a lovely experience for her."

"My daughter loved her session today and definitely wants to go again. Everything was explained in detail to the children in a fun way. My daughter just wanted to stay longer"

Sarah (Parent)

 "Fabulous experience and great photos to capture special memories. I booked the session for my 11-year-old twins and I am very happy to recommend Jo. Everything was organised very well form the booking to the underwater photos. During the session, Jo and Sarah have ensured that all children had fun and that is was a memorable experience. Thank you!"

  "My daughter has absolutely loved the two mermaiding sessions she has done with Jo. The sessions are fun yet well organised and Jo makes sure all the swimmers feel confident and happy swimming with their fins on. Initially I thought the sessions were too short but seeing how tired the kids were at the end I think they are the perfect length. My daughter will definitely be back for more in the future"

"Rosie had a one2one mermaid swim today with Jo and it was amazing. She loved every minute of it and hasn’t stopped talking about it since! She can’t wait to be able to do it again. I would highly recommend this to everyone. Jo is amazing and made the whole experience fantastic. 🧜‍♀️ xx " 

"What an amazing day! I watched my 4 daughters turn into real mermaids and they’ve not stopped smiling since. The photographs were a special touch to the event (as were the party bags) and a lovely keep sake. Jo is such a natural with children too, she kept all of their attention and I felt all of my girls were safe in their tails. Thank you so much!"  

"I booked my 7 year old daughter and my 9 year old niece onto the private mermaid 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️ swim today and both girls loved it and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Jo at gone for a swim, girls loved her. Thank you so much xx "
