"Christina gave me valuable tips to help me get into open water swimming. She recommended that I buy a wetsuit made for swimming, a neoprene cap, and a swim buoy. She also suggested I wear earplugs to protect my ears in the salt water and that I drink hot tea to warm me up after a cold water swim."

“I have always loved the water, but had a traumatic experience at a lake when I was 5 years old. That event has kept me from really embodying that truth. In addition, I have always though of myself as a “tropical fish”, as I am a Pisces. So when Christina invited me to swim in the Puget Sound I thought, “that sounds CRAZY!” However, the little mermaid in me was screaming to return to her natural home; and I can be adventurous, so I gave it a try. I am SO glad that I did. Christina is a wonderfully kind, patient, knowledgeable guide. I felt so held, so safe, and I just have the purest level fun when I am out in the water with her. It is exhilarating, and such an honor to be a Salish Selkie. Thank you Christina for helping this mermaid grow her fins back!” - Tanesha
