One Big Pool!


 
San Alfonso Del Mar Resort in Algarrobo,  Chile (90 miles west of Santiago) is home to the world's largest outdoor swimming pool (does that mean there is a larger indoor pool?).  It's filled with about 66,000,000 million gallons of sea water.  It's about .629 miles long, covers 20 acres, and maximum depth is 115 feet.   The water is  pumped and filtered and treated from the Pacific Ocean.

In the pool,  you can enjoy sailing, scuba, kayak, swimming and other fun activities (or lessons if you need them).  Apparently from the photographs,  you can swim along an amazing aquarium.  And no worries of sharks, jellyfish or string rays.  Let's go!
