[Avbrv22]

I'd love working here. It's been like my dream since I've heard about this place.

[purplepuncher]

It's like dancing with the stars.. but backwards... and underwater! BEST THING EVER!!

[tmsroxxxx]

[starfire014sa]

[janelovesu100]

[butteredmuffin35]

Omg! When I get older I want to work there!

Please reply!

[shelbysid]

how do you breathe in those tubes? Can someone explain it to me?

[m6mkiki]

@shelbysid well from what i can tell, the tubes are hooked into an airtank. when they need air they put in in ther mouth and push a button, so they don't have to go up for air

[xBounceitUpx]

@shelbysid ok so the air hoses that they have, have a lil switch that they push down with thier thumb and the air comes out to take a breath when needed and it controls their bouyancy in the water so they r not too high or to low in the water

[NinjaBunnyPro]

im a little curious what the lowest status is when you first start out

[weekiwacheesprings]

@NinjaBunnyPro

The lowest status Ninja is trainee.

[Pookie2mommy]

I went here when I was little I loved It I was Little Now Im 13 I used To Live In FL Now I Live In TN I Want To Work There One Day.

[1mermaidfantasy]

i went to watch the show i loved it !!! but then i think if they had better fin it would make the show look even more perfect!

[crazyhighheels]

I would have liked more with fins is more sexy

[CinnamonOwl]

what state is this place in?

[xBounceitUpx]

@CinnamonOwl florida :)

[BeMyMannequin]

@D45ist , well, in ally's defense, she has a point. if mermaids were real, they wouldnt propel themselves by just the bottom of their fins, it would come from their core and their entire tails. The tail would be pure muscle, which would propel them faster, and propelling from their core would help keep a fluid motion so theyd experience less drag whilst swimming. (:

[dishguyz]

Cool mermaid costume

[campbellisfly]

I know how they breath under water but how do they see????

[xBounceitUpx]

@campbellisfly it is a freshwater spring so it doesnt hurt thier eyes so u know how u can open ur eyes in some pools? thats wat they do but they see blurrry like any pool or water

[zoieshort]

[littellmonster]

[weekiwacheesprings]

@littellmonster The mermaid camp is at the park (Weeki Wachee Springs State Park)

[littellmonster]

@weekiwacheesprings thank you.

[SexyLexy1031]

wow that is amazing. i want to learn to do that.

[RollerCoasterGenius1]

My brother stopped by at my house with a baby bull shark and I now have it in my 2150 gallon fresh water tank and it is growing very quickly. I need to find an aquarium that will take him because I don't want to release it into the wild. I would like it if you guys would take her off my hands because it has been a hassle taking care of it. honestly if you guys are willing to take him I will drive down there with it and have you guys take care of her. Please reply back if you can help me out.

[weekiwacheesprings]

@RollerCoasterGenius1

I'm afraid we are a fresh water spring and would not be able to take the shark. Sorry.

[RollerCoasterGenius1]

@weekiwacheesprings I am willing to pay big cash. 5 to 10 k. or do you know an aquarium that will take it?

[TiffanyAmberTV]

@RollerCoasterGenius1 Maybe if you post up ads somewhere or contact a local place that houses sharks, then that'll be good. :) I don't know if setting it in the wild would be good though considering it's been in a tank with no actual water environment. I hope it finds a great home!! ;D <3

[faithheimbabe]

hey um where is that ? :)

[alora7shmexy]

were do you guys get ur tailzz???

[weekiwacheesprings]

[gymnasticsaddict122]

All of u ppl who say there r no mermaids prove it

[rachebreakout22]

aww congrats to mermaid maggie!!! really cool! where is that camp?

[ally11126]

I hate how they push the water with their feet, they dont even have a 'real' mermaid look to them when they swim.

[D45ist]

@ally11126

Since there are no real mermaids, how do you know what a "real" mermaid looks like when she swims?

[ally11126]

@D45ist Thats why i put in real in ' ' stupid.

[D45ist]

@ally11126

STOP! You are embarrassing yourself further. The parenthesis do not address my comment, nor change the fact that yours is nonsensical.

[ally11126]

@D45ist I dont understand your language, but i know that this isnt working for either of us because nobody liked any of yours or my comments.

[daveslow84]

[Aerodil]

Mermaid Maggie your awsome! I really want to be a mermaid also. Where is this filmed? I think its awsome because I think I'll start swimming in a tail in the summer 2011.

[scubaflier1]

[Fireheart528]

@DROLL30 I don't work there, but I think you ought to if you really want to. I'm starting to be a merperson myself. You know what we say--"Once a merperson, always a merperson."

[thelindsayrose05]

I always wanted to be a mermaid I wish I would have followed my dream........Yay Maggie!!!!
