There sure are many pools with own uniqueness, but the largest pool of the world record maker is at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Chile, a quick dip could well turn into a marathon.
Swimming a length in this, the world’s largest outdoor pool, would mean stroke after stroke for more than three fifths of a mile – that’s 20 Olympic-size swimming pools. The pool is so large that touristsactually cruise along in sail boats and kayaks.
The enormous man-made lagoon is set halfway up the country’s Pacific coast, in the city of Algarrobo,and is filled with 66 million gallons of crystal clear seawater.The pool opened in December 2006 after nearly five years of construction work and is said to have set developers back £2million.
It uses a computer-controlled suction and filtration system to suck water in from the ocean at one endand pump it out at the other, while the sun warms it to 26C – nine degrees higher than the sea.The pool’s incredible dimensions leave the next biggest floundering in its wake, with the Orthlieb in Morocco measuring a mere 1,575ft long.
