Largest swimming pool is in Chile
As we are stuck on the freezing weather of UK it is not mentally healthy watching videos and photos of people having a great time on swimming pools it makes a wii bit jealous. I hope we have the same hot summer we had last year. I was browsing through few interesting facts on the Net over the weekend and came across the world’s largest pool video on YouTube. Just looking at the video made me realise I need to go there sooner than later.
The world’s largest swimming pool is San Alfonso del Mar seawater pool in Algarrobo, Chile. It is approximately 1,020 meters long and covers upto 20 acres. It uses 66 million gallons of water and was open for use in 2006. Just imagine how many pool covers are required to cover the whole pool up. I am just intrigued to know how they would clean this swimming pool. As I have a swimming pool at home, I know the swimming pool chemicals I need to clean the pool costs me a fortune in monthly basis, I just curious to know how much they would need to spend to keep this pool clean. I will definitely ask them these questions when I get to Algarrobo.
While I was browising through this pool, my other half looked at me and whispered I wish we were there this Valentines. Those words made me think about may be she is right may be we should have been away this Valentines. I thought all night long and this morning I have made up my mind on taking her to Chile for our anniversary in March. This will definitely come as a great surprise for her. It would have been a great surprise if I actually took her there without telling her where we would be going but that cannot be done because she will need to take time off work.
It also seems like you can various different activities on the pool other than just swimming such as wake boarding, scuba diving and water skiing. I am very much looking forward to this holiday.
