Amazing Data

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 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 in December.

Some comments about this world’s largest swimming pool

It is pretty cool, I live a block away. I can see it every day from my bedroom window. My 2 million dollar, 28 story, 17 acre mansion, not to brag or anything, has a perfect view of it and the ocean. It’s definitely a place to consider moving. The pool is ridiculously large though and it’s a great place to cool off. I don’t think it’s big enough though, because if you can see the end, it’s too small.

Ummm…I think most ocean front hotels have pools….. I would love to go somewhere like this. You feel like you are at the beach (and you are) but you don’t have to deal with the sand and the waves and all that stuff if you just want to relax. Don’t get me wrong, I love swimming in the waves, but you can’t really relax in the ocean. I would totally go here if I had the $2000 it would cost in air fair for me.

Ocean water temperature is low in Chile because of the Humboldt current coming from Antarctica (the opposite effect of the Gulf current raising it in Europe), not from snow melting.
Yes, many stupid and resentful people posting. I am from Argentina, Chile´s ocasional enemy (their goverment boasted of helping the British during the Falkland war, but that´s another story), and I can still admire this engineering feat. And then I go to -warmer, friendlier- beaches in Argentina and Brazil . . .

Hello, Im from Chile, we are not communists, also, no evil government prive us of fresh, drinkable water, please If you don’t know enough of a country don’t talk things like that, the internet is a open place where anyone can learn about a topic before give opinions, use this resource at your benefit.
The concern about the cost of the giant pool is because the cost is expresed in Chilean PESO, about 1/542 U$D.
Also for the friend from Argentina PLEASE WE ARE NOT ENEMYS, PEACE FOREVER.
