Hot mama! Less than six months after giving birth to a baby girl, JoAnna García Swisher debuted her post-baby bikini body on Thursday, Nov. 7. Lifting Emerson high above her head at sunset, the famous redhead captioned her twitpic, "Emme's first day at the beach."

Her husband, pro baseball player Nick Swisher, retweeted the picture and added, "Great day!"

Of course, the 34-year-old actress gave viewers a sneak peek of her slimmed-down shape when she got into character as the mermaid Ariel in Once Upon a Time.

García Swisher made her debut in the Nov. 3 episode of the ABC fantasy series and admitted that her costume came with a corset. "I had JUST had a baby so I was grateful for it!" the TV star told one of her Twitter followers.

Speaking to E! News last week, García Swisher said she was a bit nervous about wearing a bikini top and mermaid fins on camera. "Well, I just had a baby. I just took a deep breath and I said this is the little mermaid and she's a little voluptuous right now and I'm going to go with it."

"It was a dream," she added, "and of course I had [Ginnifer Goodwin] to hold my hand when I realized, 'Oh my god, I'm half-naked!'"
