The World's Largest Swimming Pool

If you like doing laps in the swimming pool, you might want to stock up on the energy drinks before diving in the world’s largest swimming pool in the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile. Guinness Book of Records has named the vast pool beside the sea in Chile as the biggest in the world. It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, had a 115ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water. Ok, I'm sold! I want one! 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 £1billion and the annual maintenance bill will be £2million. Here's how it looks from Google Earth!
