In the South American resort of San Alfonso del Mar in Chile, this artificial lagoon and swimming pool has been acknowledged by the Guinness Book of World Records as the the biggest and longest swimming pool in the world. The pool is 1013 metres (3,324 feet) long and covers an area of 8 hectares (19.77 acres), has a 115ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons (250,000 cubic meters ) of water. It is even navigable in small boats! The water is pumped in from the Pacific Ocean and treated before entering the pool. The water temperature is kept at 26°C. It is 9°C warmer than the adjoining sea, allowing it to be used on cold days.
This pool at the Joule hotel extends beyond the building, out over the sidewalk above the 1500 block of Main Street! The infinity-edge pool will not only provide guests with a refreshing place to cool off and relax, but it is also another eye treat adding to the cutting edge excitement downtown. Passers-by below can see swimmers, plus a nighttime light show from the 132 fiber optic lights in the pool. Rooms at the Joule, which is part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide LLC’s Luxury Collection, start at $380 a night, with the 20th-floor penthouse rising to $5,000.
Nemo 33, a diving school in Brussels, operates the world’s deepest pool which goes to a depth of over 33 meters.
Utah is in the middle of the United States, nowhere near an ocean but you can enjoy all sorts of ocean-type activities(scuba diving, for example) in the underground pool at Homestead Resort. It’s a natural attraction formed from a limestone wall that’s filled with geothermal water. It’s healing, relaxing and totally amazing to experience.
