About Lindsey
Adventurer Lindsey was devasted after realising she was surroundded by more plastic than fish after cutting her hand on a sharp piece whilst freediving in Bali. She spooled through instagram and discovered some freedivers wear monofins and mermaid tails. So she returned back to the UK to swim the length of the Thames in a mermaid tail, towing a mermaid sculpture made from upcycled plastic bottles to raise awareness. Along the way she rescued a drowning cow and made Page 3 of a national tabloid- fully wetsuited! A school turned her story into their school play. It was adorable so Lindsey turned her story into a kids book- The Mermaid and the Cow. Now, she mermaids with a big poo.
Last year, Lindsey mermaided from Wales to England, across the Bristol Channel with her big poo and she's currently training to break the Guinness World Record for longest distance swum in a monofin. Monofinning is much harder than you think. You can hear all about if you come to the show.
