  This require a lot of swimming.
  The best places to do are in areas free of the Whale so you don't have to worry about getting outside the safety border. 2 of the easiest spots are as follow:
  CHAPTER 4 - HIDING After getting back on the boat from the end of chapter 3 you can leave it and swin around as the daylight is not restricted to it (just don't get too close to Sunny).
  CHAPTER 11 - SOLITUDE Another good spot but requiring you to have finished the game. As the chapter is loaded head back to the cliff and jump into the water. It's always sunny so just swin in circles around the island and after some laps it will pop.

  Yes, it's easy to get it at any point but you swim so much in this game that leaving this achievement to the end saves some time

  Got it at the last boss fight just to clean up. Swam in the water before grabbing any of the shards

  This is better left until after completing the storyline, as you'll already have a decent amount of swimming done. Load up Chapter 2, Dangerous Water. Immediately do a 180, and jump into the secluded pool of water. Now just swim around until the achievement unlocks. Swimming in this area, also triggers the whale monster to go into attack mode (but it can't get to you since you are surrounded by buildings), so it will also count towards Danger Swimmer (credit to MrSniffss and Opticon12000 for that tip):

  This chapter is also a great place for getting your 20 deaths by the whale monster.

  From the starting point, run forward and a bit to the right, off the overhang into the water. The monster will eat you, and you'll respawn on the building again. Keep falling in the water to rack up deaths quickly, and you'll have this done in no time. If you get Danger Swimmer and Human Bait done and start to feel bored or claustrophobic swimming in the safe pool area, feel free to load up Chapter 12, The Beginning for a lot more freedom (and sunshine!) for the rest of your Mermaid swimming distance.
