The World’s Largest Swimming Pool!

The San Alfonso del Mar seawater pool in Algarrobo, Chile has been named the world’s largest outdoor swimming pool by the Guiness Book of World Records. Not to be confused with The Deepest Pool in the World, San Alfonso measures almost 3,500 ft in length and has a surface area of around 20 acres. The pool is about the size of 6,000 backyward swimming pools.

It’s even got ferries to shuttle you from one end to the other. Oh, and no sharks either.

The Deepest Pool in the World

Well here’s one way I might be convinced to go scuba diving. Nemo 33 is a recreational diving center in Belgium that is home to the world’s deepest swimming pool. The pool has two large areas that are 16 ft and 32 ft deep, and a large circular pit that’s 108 ft deep. Filled with non-chlorinated, spring water maintained at 86°F, it’s also got several man-made underwater caves and some windows that allow outside visitors to watch.

Thanks Jose!
