The Water Nymph (also known as The Beach Flirt) is a 1912 American silent comedy split-reel short film starring Mabel Normand and directed by Mack Sennett. Normand performed her own diving stunts for the film, which was the first comedy released by Keystone Studios.

The film precedes and may have directly inspired the Sennett Bathing Beauties, a publicity staple first introduced in 1915.[1]
