Worlds biggest swimming pool

Look at this link, how cool is this place.

World's biggest pool holds 66 million gallons and cost £1billion to build | Mail Online

I think it looks amazing but gee a bit expensive to run, i guess would be expensive to use and you would have to be a member or using the facilities to be allowed to use this swimming pool.

Imagine finding a floater in there. It'll take days to drain it.

Judging by the size of the resort I imagine the 2million to run it is not hard to come by.....

You're unlucky if your hotel is one end and the shallow end is the other.

That looks stunning.

I, however would probably dispose of 70% of that water if i jumped in

Awesome isnt it, you see someone stated why is it all brits talk about floaters hehe, most people just dont get our wit do they, its just light hearted humour.
But i would be interested what you have to do to be able to use this swimming pool, its quite funny that it even lets boats use this facilities, shows how amazing it is, and the water wow looks amazing.

It looks great, but I thought it was going to be in Vegas or somewhere inland. Why have a massive sea water pool and fake beach when the real thing is 50 yards away, unless the sea in Chile is full of sharks and floaters.

Whatever find out post it in here, as be interesting, also good point about not using the sea instead i guess this is a safer area if not experienced swimmer or want to avoid risks, or wants perfection eg no waves etc.

Fair point and you are probably right, I went all the way to Sri Lanka and could not go in the sea due to very strong currants. They would not have built it there if there was not a good reason.
If this thread was titled where do you think this is, Chile would not have been in my top 100 guesses.

The only possible reply.

My reason for having a snooker room instead of a pool, when I'm a multi millionaire, is because you can't get a pool big enough to be fun.
They build one and it still isn't fun.

pool wankers.

Good video, imagine doing lengths in this swimming pool, be impressive to be able to do one. You people are right i never new Chile had a place like this, they should really be pushing this place shouldnt they ? as quite unique.

That looks horrendous. Rather not be hemmed in with all those people.

Will do matey, might have a look at early bird prices for Spring 2013.
I reckon that huge pool/lake outside the hotels is a major marketing draw as without it, I probably wouldn't have looked twice at the place, however now I'm looking at prices!
They should think about building one between Portslade-Whitehawk... Or just expand the sewage system?

I bet its pricey as the appeal is the size but i bet that its never overcrowded with people as most swimming pools do get, so a real perk for using the accmodation offered in this area, i love that the ocean is right on the doorstep so can hear waves crashing but got the safety and beauty of the massive swimming pool, i think its a great idea.
