No mermaids allowed wearing a silicon mermaid tail says leaders of a subdivision outside Tampa, Florida. A woman has been banned from swimming in her communityâ€s pool because she wants to wear a blue, silicone mermaid tail.

Jenna Conti lives in a subdivision east of downtown Tampa, Florida. She has been in the community pool with her custom-made tail once before with the staffâ€s okay.

Conti, who calls herself Eden Sirene while in the water, has a custom-made silicon mermaid tail.

But last week, the community leaders told her it violated a policy against swim fins. On Monday night, the FishHawk Community Development board voted to keep her out of the pool because of the swim fin.
