'Mermaid' woman banned from public swimming pool

A Florida woman has been banned from swimming in her community’s pool because she wants to wear a mermaid tail.

Jenna Conti had been in the Aquatic Club pool with her custom-made tail once before with the staff’s approval.

But last week, employees told her it violated a policy against swim fins.

The full-time hair stylist has not been a mermaid for very long.

She and her 10-year-old son saw the mermaids at the Tampa Bay Renaissance Fair earlier this year, and she said she was “enthralled”.
