The Phoenician is diving into summer with the introduction of an aquatic activity like no other: AquaMermaid School.
Young resort guests can live out their fairytale dreams and swim like mermaids during expertly led 60-minute sessions. Participants ages 7 and older will master various techniques and glide through The Phoenician’s sparkling pools with the help of a specifically designed, colorful tail and fin. For adults – “Mermen” included – the program provides an excellent alternative core workout, combining synchronized and monofin swimming. Classes are offered at $70 per person every Friday at 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.; and every Saturday and Sunday at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., through September 5, 2016. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the resort concierge at (480) 423-2572. The program is for resort guests only.
“Following the success of our I.FLY Trapeze offering this spring, The Phoenician is excited to once again provide our guests with a truly collectible, experiential activity,” said Mark Vinciguerra, managing director of The Phoenician. “Along with our summer rates that start at just $169 per night, our new AquaMermaid School is not to be missed.”
Led by founder Marielle Chartier Hénault, AquaMermaid is a positive-energy, colorful, inspiring alternative to traditional swimming clubs that is drawing a diverse group of members across North America. To learn more, please visit www.aquamermaid.com.
