This one really blew me away. I’ve seen big swimming pools, but this one takes the cake. The largest swimming pool in the world is in Chile!
The pool is 3,324 feet long and has an area of almost 20 acres. It holds 660,000 gallons of water heated to 79°F in the warmer months. With a depth of up to 115 feet it is hard to think of as a swimming pool.
Photos show rowboats, sailboats and windsurfers using the pool. The construction company claim a “patented process (that) eliminates traditional filtration and uses up to 100 times less chemical products”.
Seems too good to be true.

Wow. I would love to visit. I always thought Chile was nowhere, but I’m impressed.
Do you know anything about the pool maintenance they do?

What’s the latest stats, in terms of World’s largest after this one?
I was thinking china for some reason, specially with all the Olympic stuff
going on. I hear Dubai is also in the move to make things bigger.

I wonder if they have any metal problems. We could help with that at Periodic Products. They could use CuLator to permanently remove metals!

This is a very nice pool. Would love to visit it one day and learn of its operation.
