The World’s Largest Swimming Pool?

It’s just one of those sights that simply
takes your breath away.
This man-made wonder is 1013 meters
long covers 80 acres, its deepest end
reaches 115ft and it holds 66 million
gallons of water. If you want to take a dip
in the world’s largest swimming
pool you’ll have to travel to San Alfonso
del Mar in Algarrobo, Chile, where a
computer-controlled suction and filtration
system continuously pumps water from
the ocean, keeping it crystal clear.
Although it wasn’t cheap, costing around
$2 billion to build and another $4 million/
year for maintenance, the pool seems to
be worth it as it has been attracting huge
crowds of curious tourists, since it
opened.
