With a focus on empowering children, educating other professional mermaids, and supporting local wildlife charities, Mermania saw mermaids as young as 3 and as old as 65 swimming together In the Greensboro Aquatic Centre. In an effort to face the rising fears of monofin swimming in children, Halifax Mermaids were flown in to teach safe swimming techniques to young children. The company also provided professional development workshops for other mermaid based companies.
This is the third convention In the USA where Halifax Mermaids have been consulted as industry experts. The company has provided workshops on child development, running a performance based business, safety, and social media.
