About

Agnieszka Pindel — Mermaid Instructor SSI

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious” — Albert Einstein

I am a certified SSI Mermaid Instructor and underwater performer — I combine movement, art and water into spectacles that take you beyond the everyday. Based in Poland, every summer I travel to the Croatian Adriatic coast to swim and perform in open waters.

Swimming in a mermaid tail is not just an artistic expression — it is a fully professional approach to a unique swimming style on a single breath. From breathing techniques and mindfulness to spectacular performance in front of an audience.

I hold an SSI (Scuba Schools International) mermaid instructor certificate — one of the largest international certification organisations for water sports, recognised in over 150 countries.

Courses are held in Poland in Polish. This page is my digital business card — feel free to reach out!

Frequently asked questions

What is mermaiding?

Mermaiding is a discipline combining elements of freediving with underwater performance. It involves swimming in a mermaid tail (and monofin) with body control, breathing techniques, and creating an aesthetic image underwater. It can be a form of recreation or professional water sport.

Do I need to know how to swim?

Yes, swimming ability is required. Before the course, a swimming assessment is conducted that includes swimming and floating on the water surface. Good physical fitness is also necessary.

What is an SSI Mermaid certificate?

SSI (Scuba Schools International) offers two mermaid certification levels: Mermaid (Level I — pool swimming) and Ocean Mermaid (Level II — open water). There is also a Try Mermaid introductory lesson — it does not result in a certificate but lets you discover whether mermaiding is for you. SSI certificates are recognised internationally in over 150 countries.

Where are you based?

I'm based in Poland. Every summer I travel to the Croatian Adriatic coast to swim in open waters.
