  • The photographs displayed below are, as described, pictures of the world's largest swimming pool: a man-made, Example: Worlds largest swimming pool, AMAZING! If you like doing laps in the swimming pool, you might want to stock up on the energy drinks before diving in to this one. It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, had a 115-ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water. The Guinness Book of Records named the vast pool beside the sea in Chile as the biggest in the world. But if you fancy splashing out on one of your own — and you have the space to accommodate it — then beware: This one took five years to build, cost nearly $1 billionand the annual maintenance bill will be $2 million. The man-made saltwater lagoon has been attracting huge crowds to the San Alfonso del Mar resort at Algarrobo, on Chile's southern coast, since it opened. Its turquoise waters are so crystal clear that you can see the bottom even in the deep end. It dwarfs the world's second biggest pool, the Orthlieb — nicknamed the Big Splash — in Morocco, which is a mere 150 yardslong and 100 yardswide. An Olympic size pool measures some 50 yardsby 25 yards. Chile's monster pool uses a computer-controlled suction and filtration system to keep fresh seawater in permanent circulation, drawing it in from the ocean at one end and pumping it out at the other. The sun warms the water to 26°C, nine degrees warmer than the adjoining sea. Chilean biochemist Fernando Fischmann, whose Crystal Lagoons Corporation designed the pool, said advanced engineering meant his company could build "an impressive artificial paradise" even in inhospitable areas. "As long as we have access to unlimited seawater, we can make it work, and it causes no damage to the ocean." Designed by The vast lido requires high-technology filtration systems to keep the water fresh, with a computer-controlled system drawing in water from the sea from one end and pumping it out of the other. Fernando Fischmann, developer of the "pulse oxidation" technology used in the pool, says that pumping the water back in to the ocean does no harm to wildlife or ecosystems. Guinness World Records have indeed vetted the San Alfonso del Mar pool as the world's largest, smashing a record previously held by the The following video clips offer views of the San Alfonso del Mar pool:
