  • Worlds Biggest Swimming Pool

    Already drawing the crowds in the South American#-Link-Snipped-# 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 #-Link-Snipped-# 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 #-Link-Snipped-# 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.

    Wow! This is some structural engineering. Did you know that designing and constructing a swimming pool is as difficult as constructing a bridge?
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

    It is not that big.
    Usually I swim around 10,000 laps of a pool. In this one I could only do 9,999 laps. Will try it again today😛😛😛😛😛😛

    I'd like to know too! I've seen those Engineering documentaries on TV about bridge construction, and I find it quite hard to believe swimming pools are just as difficult!
