A school in Manila is helping make seaside daydreams come true by teaching swimmers how to be mermaids.

Swimmers use skin-tight suits and plexi-glass mono-tails to slice through the water.

It started as a way to encourage children to swim - but now adults want to join the fun too.

There's definitely a fascination with mermaids in Philippines. Even teleseries. :Erm:
