A woman in New Zealand without legs is having a mermaids tail created to assist her in swimming. Her name is Nadya Vessey. The company making the tail is the same one who made the special effects in The Lord of the Rings.

She had the first of her legs amputated at 7, after which time she first began swimming. She had her other leg amputated at 16, yet she still swam competitively.

The woman says the tail will allow her to swim with ease through the water, as if she were a mermaid.

Vessey says it will allow her to propel herself through the water as if she was a mermaid. Vessey, who is  a woman in her 50s, found  Weta Workshop’s prosthetic department randomly one night while wandering around the internet. She requested Weta to make the tail useful  and pleasing to the eye.
