Confidence Boost:
Learning the graceful movements of merswimming and expressing oneself through movement in a monofin can significantly increase self-confidence and body positivity. 
Mindfulness and Presence:
The focus on merswimming techniques and being present in the moment in the water leaves little space for worries and anxiety, helping to calm the nervous system.
