worlds largest swimming pool

[gwuapo2007]

In the South American resort of San Alfonso del Mar in Chile, this artificial lagoon and swimming pool is eight hectares in size and contains an incredible 250,000 cubic meters of water. Acknowledged by Guinness World Records as being the world’s largest swimming pool, the lagoon trounces all other record holders in the category, including the Orthlieb pool in Casablanca, Morocco, itself a huge 150 meters by 100 meters – the San Alfonso pool is 1km in length. The revolutionary clear water artificial lagoons, transparent to a depth of 35 meters and unprecedented in design and construction methods, are the brainchild of Crystal Lagoons founder, biochemist and Chilean businessman Fernando Fischmann. Equivalent in size to an incredible 6,000 standard domestic pools, details of its technology are to be unveiled for the first time at Cityscape Dubai later this month.

kinda old 'news'.

i saw that a month ago.
Anyways, this pool will be destroyed in some years.
its right at ocean's side. Since every year ocean's are increasing size due melting ice in polar areas, ocean will drag it in no time hweheh

Sorry, I guess some just can't handle a little sarcasm/humor.

 

[Synkc]

Whoa, it looks awesome. I wonder how much that would of cost...

 

[DefecTalisman]

Really does seem silly to have it next to the ocean, I agree on that. Rather inland somewhere so that you feel like your at the ocean. But then there are stupider things out there.

cool wouldn't mind a swim in that

I heard about an even bigger pool used to test things in space or some thing - i heard about this on the discovery channel.

 

[HarvJH]

[gwuapo2007]
