Merle Liivand is an aquapreneur, plastic pollution reduction advocate,
Guinness World Record holder and mermaid. The Estonian-born swimmer holds
several Guinness World Records her latest was achieved on April 15, 2023,
in a little over 14 hours. Merle swam 50 kilometers using a monofin, a
record setting swim for the longest distance swum using a monofin. It's a
feat because she swam the distance without using her arms by undulating her
lower body up and down mermaid-style.
