The World’s Largest Swimming Pool?

It's just one of those sights that simply takes
your breath away.
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 it 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.
