Toddler mermaid tails for swimming are a delight for little girls. With the popularity of mermaids on tv, from Disney’s The Little Mermaids to the Mako Mermaids of H2O it’s only a matter of time before your little girl wants a beautiful and shimmery tail of her very own.
Mermaid swim tails come in two styles: without the fin and with an insertable fin. Costumes without the fin are open at the bottom making them easier to walk and swim in. This style is recommended for younger and beginner swimmers. For older toddlers and those comfortable in the water there are styles with the fin that can be inserted before entering the water.
On this page you’ll find a variety of toddler mermaid tails in both styles and a variety of colors. There’s also a cool shark tail complete with dorsal fin that’s perfect for both little boys and little girls. You’ll also learn how to care for the mermaid tail and how to use it safely.
Safety Tips for Swimming with a Mermaid Tail
Mermaid tails are a lot of fun both for photos and for play time in the water. But it’s also important to make sure they are safely used. Adult supervision is a must while your toddler is using their mermaid swim tail. For both styles, with and without the fin, it’s recommended that your little girl wear either a life jacket, water wings or some other alternative wearable flotation device. It’s also a good idea to swim in shallow water, especially when she’s getting used to swimming with the tail.
Care for Your Mermaid Swimming Tail
In order to preserve the fantastic shimmer of your mermaid tail it’s best to avoid scraping it against rough surfaces such as the pool deck. For tails with a fin wait until your child is at the edge of the pool before inserting it. Alternatively she can wait to get dressed in the tail until at the pool’s edge. The fin should be removed after each use and the mermaid tail can be machine washed inside out in cold water. Hang to dry and avoid the use of fabric softeners and bleach. Do not iron.
