I'm A Real-Life Professional Mermaid | HOOKED ON THE LOOK

SUBSCRIBE to Truly: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
A REAL-LIFE mermaid has turned her passion for mythical creatures into full-time work. Elle Jimenez or 'Mermaid Elle', from Miami Beach, is a certified full-time professional mermaid and underwater performer. Growing up, Elle was fascinated by mermaids but never thought to invest in the idea until 2016 when she tried on a mermaid’s tail for the first time and dived into a world of magic. Since then, she started working in mermaid entertainment services; underwater performances and offering professional mermaid training. Elle admits that being a mermaid is not as easy as it may look: “Being a mermaid is hard. It takes a lot of work physically. It's also acting. And also this swimming aspect of it, how to swim safely.” Mermaid Elle is also an advocate for ocean conservation and strives to promote awareness on how to protect oceans with her project "Mermaid Elle #SavingTheSeas". She told Truly: “The one thing I love about mermaids is that they just represent this beautiful concept of nature and they protect their home. They protect their pod. I love the empowerment that mermaids represent and the conservation aspect of what a mermaid is. It’s a Mer Maid. It's the servant of the sea.”

A few years back when these were popular with kids there were a lot of issues because you really have to be a strong swimmer or train yourself to swim like that. I love it though!
