'MERMAID' performer (MeduSirena) Swimming at the Wreck Bar.

The Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel (formerly named Sheraton Yankee Clipper) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida was well known for their Wreck Bar, with portholes that gave visitors an underwater view of the hotel pool. "Mermaid" shows were performed back in the late 1950's & early 1960's. Now, 40 years later, a "mermaid" finally returns to the Clipper. Aquatic dancer & performer Marina the Fire Eating Mermaid (AKA- MeduSirena) now seen cruising the waters at the Wreck Bar weekly. Here is some older candid footage of the first attempts at restoring the art form & returning the hotel pool shows.

[Medusa22]

Well, the video is shot at the Wreck Bar, after all...

You are looking at a porthole view from the bar itself- ergo the bottles.

at 1:55, you can see a ladder, which is how they got in

[Medusa22]

Glad you enjoyed the vid~

We actually enter the pool from the opposite side, as the tails are already on before submersion. We simply drop right in from the pool's edge. (To descend a ladder with a fishtail on would be rather tricky!)

shape of her legs were visible and u noticed air bubbles?

[Medusa22]

Right- also notice that it's in a hotel swimming pool.

[Hendo56]

Sure they do. They exist in our folklore. Saying there are no mermaids is like saying there is no Santa Claus. They exist in our imaginations!
