As we are stuck on the freezing weather of UK it is not mentally healthy watching videos and photos of people having a great time on swimming pools it makes me a bit jealous of them. I do hope we get the similar kind of summer we had last year in 2009. I was browsing through few interesting facts on the Net over the weekend and came across the world’s largest pool video on YouTube. The video was so appealing that I felt like I need to be 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 uses upto 67 million gallons of water and was completed and opened for use in 2006. Wow. Imagine how many pool covers they would need to cover up the whole pool. I am just curious to know how long it will take them to clean the whole pool and how often they clean it. As I have a swimming pool at home, 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. These are definitely the first few questions I will ask them when I get to Algarrobo.
While browsing my wife looked at me and said I wish we were in Chile this Valentine. 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 come as a great 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 truly looking forward to this swimming pool and Chile in general.
