I have not yet had the opportunity to give this a try.

I was born and raised in Fl so naturally I have been swimming most of my life. Although the first few times back into the water after a long winter I don't last as long uw as I would like to. I often surprise people at how long I can stay underwater.

Your added to the list!

I love swimming!

My first swimming lessons were by the American Red Cross when I was 5 or 6 years old, living in Hawaii. My family lived in Guam for 2 years, Hawaii for 3 years and by the beach in Virginia for a year. When I was in high school, I took 3 years of Lifesaving and Water Safety and had to swim about a mile within a 50-minute class period for my final exam each year. I have swum every chance I've had.

Last November, I spent about an hour swimming in Blue Hole at Santa Rosa, New Mexico, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks. The water temperature is about 60° F (16° C) year-round.

Last week, I spent a few hours swimming in the pool at San Solomon Spring, in Balmorhea State Park in Texas. Here is a video segment shot from a sports camera that I had mounted on my head with a rubber strap (I was wearing swim fins for this particular segment):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeHz93caMS4

I still remember a half-dozen swimming strokes from high school (front, back, side, breast, butterfly, modified breast) besides a few strokes that I invented so I could swim backwards, sideways or upside-down or all of them at one time. I can swim with my body held vertically straight while upside-down and my legs sticking out of the water.

I was taught to dive off a 3-meter high dive, but I prefer to remain in the water if I can.

I am comfortable appearing nude.

Most of the modeling I have done has been for myself, self-portraits, though a friend did shoot a few frames of me while we were underwater. I would love to pose for underwater shoots.

How nice to meet another mermaid on MM, so glad you stumbled upon the list

I would love to!
Except noone wants to shoot me underwater literally because 'my hair is too short'. Seriously, come on now.

That should not be a problem, I have worked with models who have very short hair. Have you tried getting clip in hair extensions? Try to get the ones that are real hair, the synthetic ones dont move the same way in the water... if you do this then no one will have any excuse not to work with you... but I still think that that shouldnt be a reason for them to not want to work with you... *sigh*

Let me know when you have had your first shoot and also your background in water, I might be able to add you to the list if your a natural underwater

Hello there!

I have my first underwater shoot this Saturday, would anyone who's experienced mind giving me advice?

Are there certain food/drinks that I should/shouldn't consume on the day or the night before?

What good excercises would help me prepare for this?

I'm a good swimmer and I was a dancer/gymnast for many years, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm also able to open my eyes underwater.

I have added a good amount of info to the OP, also about food before shoot. Just dont drink alcohol and you should be fine, the rest of the info is on the first page of the thread

Good luck!
