bingomamma19 Posted June 25, 2018 #26 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Specifically asking for the Carnival Freedom, but are kids allowed to wear mermaid tails in the pools? I'm referring to the type shown here. Some pools seem to allow them, while others don't, and my daughter is extremely excited to get to use hers. Does anyone know if it'll be a problem? I have never seen any in the carnival pools (or any pool for that matter), but I recently saw some videos of near drownings by kids wearing them. I had never even heard of those before, but immediately thought they looked like a hinderance to safe swimming. Also as some have stated, there really is not enough room to "swim" I the pools on board...more like jump and splash around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleenstomper Posted June 25, 2018 #27 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Yes, that is the main point. I have never used a carnival pool because it has been standing room only when I checked out the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckersMidwest Posted June 25, 2018 #28 Share Posted June 25, 2018 A guy on the Magic laid by the pool every day wearing one ! I have a picture but can't seem to post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sprint180 Posted June 26, 2018 #29 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I can’t believe people buy these. You certainly wouldn’t have range of motion. I guess anything for attention Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPlayWithString Posted June 26, 2018 #30 Share Posted June 26, 2018 OMG MOM! Don't you want your kid to be COOL? Mermaid tails are TEH COOLEST! JEEZE MOM! (cue stomping off in a girly huff, all mad and stuff) :'):'):'):') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxley Posted June 26, 2018 #31 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Me too. I've actually considered getting one to do laps with in our HOA pool because I know you're forced to use your abs more with monofins/mermaid tails and I'd end up with killer abs (I hope. LOL.)You could save your money and just tie your ankles together. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniX Posted June 26, 2018 #32 Share Posted June 26, 2018 My daughter will be bringing hers. She is a strong swimmer, and practiced with the mono fin, before adding the tail. She's practiced quick kick off with her tail and fin as well. I have no concerns when she is wearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerin Posted June 27, 2018 #33 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm trying to visualize how this could happen? The chances would be the same as the chances of stepping on or tripping over a person's legs/feet. Because feet feel like feet, and when you step on them, you tend to get off pretty quick. Mermaid tails are not only big and wide, but they can feel like the bottom of the pool/ ocean; pretty easy for someone to have no idea they are standing on it. Just my 2 cents, but I don't think those tails should be allowed in water at all(save for professional mermaid shows). They are VERY dangerous. I'm a great swimmer, but wouldn't even consider entering water with my legs pretty much useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
