Sports clubs and mermaids from all over Spain will participate in this first edition of the event that will take place on June 26^th from 11 a.m.

At Aqua Natura Benidorm we host the celebration of the 1st National Meeting of Mermaids and Tritons, which will take place on June 26^th from 11.00 am at the water park. This is the first time that an event of these characteristics has been organized in Spain, where sports swimming clubs and professional mermaids will come together from different parts of Spain.

The event is jointly organised by Victoria Gorena from Sirenas Spain and Aqua Natura Benidorm, and has the special collaboration of the professional mermaid Verónica Conde, artistically known as Mermaid Verónica. The meeting has been included in the world list of conventions of the American magazine Fins Magazine.

The main objective of the development of this event is to publicise the sports practice of swimming with mermaid tails among society. Likewise, it is intended to promote awareness about the state of conservation of the seas and sensitise the population about the need to take care of marine ecosystems, avoiding their contamination.

Specifically, the participation of professional mermaids such as Mermaid Leucas, Irial Mermaid, Shadows of Jade, Chimera Mermaid, Mermaid Goldfish and the Merman tru is expected. The Glu Valencia Sirens School, La Nucía Synchronized Swimming Club, Quimera Coqueta, the blue cave will also participate. In addition, Atlantic Mermaid Academy of las Palmas de Gran Canaria will hold a swimming demonstration with mermaid tails from Playa de las Alcaravaneras to join the event.

Thus, there will be representation from different locations in the Valencian Community, Castilla y León, Community of Madrid, Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha, the Balearic Islands, the Principality of Asturias and Andalusia. The programme will start at 11.00 am with a welcome and waterproof makeup and tattoo workshops for mermaids. At 12 pm, the aquatic zumba activity will take place in the pool area.

In the afternoon, mermaid Verónica Mermaid will star in a children’s storyteller and various talks will be held on the practice of swimming with a mermaid tail as a sport. The programming will continue with children’s workshops on recycling to avoid pollution of the oceans.
