About Mermaid Dream School

Mermaid Dream School started from one woman’s vision of becoming a mermaid and her desire to share her mermaid experiences. Her name is Lenisa Ann Careaga. 

She became a mermaid in Maui for the first time in 2018. 

Lenisa grew up with a passion for the ocean and water. She joined her high school swim team and pursued her interest in becoming a swim instructor. As a successful model and actress complimented by her skillset in swimming, she landed the opportunity to model Mermaids on Maui’s mermaid tails. Seeing the kind of transformation, beauty, and confidence this experience gave her inspired her to explore the mermaid culture to the next level. 

Lenisa entered a mermaid pageant as Miss Mermaid Texas and earned the prestigious title of Miss Mermaid USA 2019. She pursued many environmental causes during this time, including advocating for the ocean. She was then invited to compete on the international stage at Miss Mermaid International and placed Top 12 in addition to being awarded “Best Friendship”. 

These experiences became the foundation of Lenisa’s strong desire to change the lives of others. After completing certification in yoga and teaching students across the nation in mediation and healing remedies she decided to open a school to accomplish these goals. 

Lenisa hopes to share the joy and magic of being a mermaid and create everlasting memories with her students. 

She aims for everyone who enrolls with Mermaid Dream School to gain swimming skills, an education and awareness of our earth’s oceans, and a new perspective of peace and confidence.
