Hi everyone! So with all the tail bans going on at the moment I thought it would be a good idea to put together a list of all the pools we know about that still allow monofins and Mermaid tails. Ill start, please feel free to comment below if you want to add any to the list or change the status I have listed for any. Just make sure you state the pool name, it's suburb/locality, city/province, country and what date you last verified it's mer friendliness (since things are still changing)
