Located at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo,Chile, the world's largest pool is about 1,013 meters (3,324 ft) in length and with a total area of 8 hectares (19.77 acres). That's equivalent to 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools!
Chile's enormous pool holds 250 million liters (66 million gallons) of crystal clear seawater and uses a computer-controlled suction and filtration system to keep fresh seawater in permanent circulation, drawing it in from the ocean at one end and pumping it out at the other.
San Alfonso del Mar resort's pool is also the record holder for the world's deepest at 115 feet!
It reportedly took five years to build, cost nearly $1 billion, and has an annual maintenance bill of $2 million.
115 feet is 35.1 meter deep, that is sick! :P
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go pee in it !!
ReplyDeleteawesome)))))
ReplyDeleteWoah! Thats a big swimmin hole
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste with that gorgeous natural swimming pool right there. Why would you need a swimming pool of that proportion using the same water as the sea itself? Waste of money and resources.
ReplyDeleteSo what happens to the pool when the hurricane hits?
ReplyDelete200 olympic sized pools, not 20. Geez
ReplyDeleteWhere do they get the money to build a pool like that?
