Mermaid Tail Size Guide | Shop by Height
Choose your child's mermaid tail by their overall height in cm, not their age. If their height falls between sizes, choose the larger size, then select the tail design you love.
Choose by overall height, not age. If your child falls between sizes, choose the larger size. The age shown beside each size is only a guide.

Remember the monofin
The monofin gives the tail its shape and is needed for swimming. Our Neoprene Monofin is available in Small for tail sizes 100-130, Large for sizes 130-150, and a Shaped option for selected Deluxe Bubbles and Pom Pom tails in size 130 and above.
Important swimming safety
WARNING: Mermaid tails or monofins can significantly reduce the person's ability to swim, and can only be used by competent swimmers under strict adult supervision at all times, regardless of swimming ability.
