For anyone who has ever wished that they were a mermaid, that dream could very well come true in Moscow, Russia. For only 21-dollars you can wear a mermaid tail and learn how to swim in it at 1st Russian Mermaids Academy. The academy offers classes for people of all ages including "mer-therapy" for kids with disorders such as infantile cerebral paralysis or down syndrome.

School founder, member of the Russian Freediving Federation and professional diver Maria Knayazkova believes in the fairytale world and has created this for all to experience it.
