My coach, Heather Carrasco, was working here at the time for the big show that was here. I started synchronized swimming when I was 8 years old for a team called Nevada Desert Mermaids. Q: How did you first hear about and/or become interested in being the mermaid here at Silverton Casino Hotel.Ī: I was a synchronized swimmer here in Las Vegas. My mom is from Slovakia and she speaks different languages so we would talk in Slovak and I would tell the kids that was mermaid language. My mom joked that I would always bring over the neighborhood kids or the kids at the beach.
Ever since I was little, I always dreamt of being a mermaid. With a name like that, do you think you were destined for this?Ī: Absolutely. Q: Ariana is very close to Ariel, the mermaid from Disney.
