Hundreds of people have broken the world record on June 2 for the largest gathering - of MERMAIDS.
The group of 388 "merfolk" - mermaids and mermen - took part in the 2022 Mermaid Challenge in Plymouth, Devon, England.
The previous Guinness World Record for mermaid gathering was 300.
A spokesman for the event said unofficially they have broken the record but they need official confirmation from Guinness next week.
Guinness defines a merperson as a “mythological creature which has the top half of their body being that of a human and the bottom half a tail of a fish," meaning there are a few requirements for the costumes.
All participants had to wear a fishtail costume skirt that is close-fitting from the waist to the ankles and with a flume or flare of material extending over and covering the feet.
Participants could be shirtless, wear a swimming shirt, bikini top, swim costume top or a clamshell bra.
