May 30, 2012 - World's Largest Swimming Pool



Quote:
The Crystal Lagoon, located at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile, is the world's largest outdoor pool, stretching more than half of a mile and filled with 66 million gallons of water.

When you click through to the link to see the slide show, it looks like some of the sailboats in the swimming pool are floating in mid air, the water is so clear.

Number of fish turds I've seen while swimming in the ocean: 0
Number of used bandaids I've seen while swimming in pools: 76

I'll stick with the ocean. Also, it's free.

I like the saltiness of ocean water. And the breath taking coldness.

Best beach in America is Race point beach Atlantic side in Cape
Cod. When I win the lotto imma buy me a house there.

Water down here is cold as heck, as well as dangerous, so it's not nice for swimming.

The pool uses sea water, so it is salty. It is very nice and not that expensive (you can rent a nice apartment for about US$250 a day.)

At Bondi Beach it is very common to encounter a "Bondi Cigar". It's not a *fish* turd.
