Swimming at the Newport Aquarium in Newport, Kentucky, Jasmine the Siren flirts with pennant butterflyfish. Jasmine is a professional mermaid, and she loves swimming and playing with fish. She swims with a group of mermaids with Wands and Wishes Mermaids (WW Mermaids) who entertain patrons at the aquarium. @jasminethesiren A mermaid’s best friend These cuties love a little sand bath Newport Aquarium w/ @WW Mermaids .. #professionalmermaid #mermaid ♬ original sound – highschool simulator The pennant butterflyfish is distinct with a white body, two broad black vertical stripes, and bright yellow fins. They are a reef fish and seem right at home swimming with a mermaid. Jasmine is giving them a light dusting of sand. Watching these mermaids swim, together or alone, is mesmerizing. The fluidity of their undulations looks almost indistinguishable from what we imagine a real mermaid would look like. They are so practiced in their craft that they are a beauty in motion. @ww_mermaids Underwater magic#mermaids @finfolk_productions #underwater #mermaid #mermaidtail #mermaidshow #freedive #underwatertiktok #ilovemyjob #dive ♬ BARD’S TALE – Filip Lackovic In addition to performing as a mermaid, Jasmine is also a model, aerialist, and performance artist. As a model, she works underwater and on dry land to advertise and model name-brand clothing. Flying as an aerialist, she performs at events and Faires. As a performance artist, she might show up as a living statue or a fairie to bring magic and fantasy to any event. Newport Aquarium, where Jasmine and other WW Mermaids perform, has been open since 1999. Located only two minutes from downtown Cincinnati, the aquarium serves patrons from Ohio and Kentucky. It is home to thousands of aquatic animals. You can waddle with penguins, see a white alligator, and enjoy other marine life. Play on a sunken ship in the new Shipwreck: Realm of the Eels exhibit.
