The thing is that she doesn't know how to swim.

There's something I just want to understand and clear up. So is Emily now a mermaid for the rest of her life? There's no possible way for her to become human again. And it isn't like H2O Just Add Water, where her tail can become a pair of legs when she's dry. Will she eventually find out what caused the transformation and why?

Emily's transformation is indefinite. As for how it happened, the moon has some has some very mysterious properties and powers that nobody fully understands. It could be a similar force that causes werewolves to transform during the full moon. Is it science? Is it magic? Is it something inbetween? Who knows.
Although it's probably midi-chlorians.

So it's not like H2O, because if it were she would've gotten her legs back by now. Right?

She has been laid out on the dry sand for quite a while.

I take it that's a no on the legs when dry method.

I was always curious as to where that concept of "merpeople become human when dry and turn back when wet". Lots of mermaid fiction uses this method. "Aquamarine", H2O, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch to name a few. I did some research and found that the first mermaid story (as far as anyone could tell) to use this concept was the 1984 movie "Splash" with Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. In the website Television Tropes has given this concept the unofficial name: "the Splash Method", another blogger called it "the Splash Effect" both obviously named after first art medium to use it and the fact that the merpeople turn back when "splashed" with water. Pretty interesting.

Well, I imagine the "Splash Method" would apply to people of whom one parent is human and the other is a merperson.

Provided that they can get past what's commonly known as "the Mermaid Problem".

Unless it takes being in a large body of water to transform rather than just getting wet.

That wasn't what I had in mind.
