1000 meters long swimming pool
While I am stuck on this cold weather its not amusing at all to see people having a great time on swimming pools it makes a wii bit jealous. I sincerely hope that this year we have similar type of weather we had last summer. 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 the look of the pool was so beautiful that I had the urge 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 was completed in December 2006 and holds upto 66 million gallons of water. Just imagine how many pool covers they would need to cover up the whole pool. I am just intrigued to know how they would clean this swimming pool. To clean the swimming pool my house 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 glazed at me with innocent eyes and said I so 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 about her words all night long and then I decided may be I should take her there for our anniversary this April. This will definitely be a lovely 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.
