I wouldn't want to do lengths in that. Amazing!

I wouldn't want to have to rake the leaves out of it.

I imagine that it's difficult to keep the chemical treatments even through the pool as well.

I have a few issues with how close the pool is to the ocean. Aesthetically, it's beautiful. Environmentally... it can't be good to expose sealife to pool chemicals. Even though there's a strip of beach there between the pool and the ocean, there will be some sort of leakage.

it's a salt water "lagoon"


http://www.worldrecordsacademy.org/b...pool_70920.htm

"The lagoon employs cutting-edge technology that allows it to "harvest, filter and permanently recirculate ocean water", according to biochemist and businessman Fernando Fischmann, who heads Crystal Lagoons Corporation, the company that designed the mammoth pool."

"The San Alfonso pool:
* Is 8 hectares in surface area or the equivalent of 6,000 standard-size 8-metre-long swimming pools.
* It easily dwarfs the next biggest pool - the Orthlieb in Casablanca, Morocco - which measures 150m x 100m.
* The lagoon's water temperature in summer is 26C, nine degrees warmer than the ocean it sits alongside.
* Its waters are transparent to a depth of 35 metres.
* It cost approximately US$3.5 million to build and
the maintenance cost is low, the equivalent of 1/4 of a golf course (18 holes) only!
* The pool fills itself with 250,000 cubic meters of water from the Pacific ("which filters itself") "

Wow. I wonder how much chlorine they have to throw in that thing.

Algarrobo is a nice town close to Santiago, Chile. I grew up in Santiago and visited that area often, had a summer house in Vina del Mar, a bigger town north of that area. The weather down there is just like California but now is summertime. The salt water lagoon does not need chlorine.

First thing comes to mind is an image of a big ass wave crashing in on that pool and drown every body in it.

The next is water skiing! FUN!

Seeing sailboats on a pool is pretty awesome.

Delirious

Why don't you ever see cool things like that in the U.S.

All the amazing construction seems to be in Asia, Dubai or some other place nowadays....
