World's Largest Swimming Pool
Measuring almost 3,500 feet long, covering 20 acres and holding 66 million gallons of water, the San Alfonso del Mar Resort’s seawater pool in Algarrobo on Chile’s southern coast was just named the world’s largest outdoor swimming pool by the Guiness Book of World Records. Story and more photos.

Must be off season. 20 acres of pool and only 3 or 4 people in the water?
I would hate to have to pay their chlorine bill!
Interesting. If you want to swim in the ocean, you have to swim across the pool. Or take a boat.
I would love this!! Laps in salt water without the waves or the jellyfish!!
115 feet deep at the deep end? How can they engineer that right next to the ocean?
I bet they offer scuba lessons!
I want the pool cleaning contract! And the chlorine supply contract!
No one answered how you cross the pool to swim in the ocean?
Someone must know. It seems like a serious design flaw.
Wonder if they allow water skiing?
Boat rentals, those little underwater power torpedo thing rentals, scuba gear rentals, I can see plenty of opportunities here! Of course, you would have to live in Chili.
I can't get over the depth! I suppose it starts to get deep and then drops more rapidly near the far end. But wow! 115 feet! That would be something to see.
