She is a stocky girl. She wore a man’s one piece swimming suit, skin tight, minus sleeves and without stockings.
The tank act opens with a series of stereopticon slides showing Mermaida from age three to present aged twenty. She began indulging in aquatics quite early. The sheet is raised and Mermaida is disclosed, standing on the edge of the tank. Her diving and fancy swimming is described on an easel.
