World's Largest Swimming Pool
Already drawing the crowds 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.More pictures after the jump.
