Here's your chance to become a mermaid at Weeki Wachee

If you've always dreamed about becoming a mermaid, this is your chance!

Weeki Wachee Springs State Park announced it will hold auditions on Friday for the opportunity to become one of their world-famous mermaids.

The first part of the audition is an endurance swim test. Those who successfully pass the test will then be able to participate in the underwater audition.

Interested applicants must be at least 18 years of age and submit a resume, state employment application and head shot in advance to wwmermaids1947@gmail.com. Walk-ups will not be accepted.

Although the area is undergoing renovations, the mermaid show, river boat ride and wildlife show are expected to reopen June 15.
