A mum-of-three has devoted her time to becoming a real-life mermaid who swims in the open sea all year around and can hold her breath for up to four minutes.
Emma Harper, also known as Mischief the Mermaid, undergoes six hours of intense cardio training in and out of the ocean each week to ensure she is in peak condition to tackle the waves.
The 41-year-old from Truro, Cornwall, spends most of her days swimming in the open sea, filling the water "with mermagic" by teaching others how to safely be a mermaid, and also modelling.
