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 sincerely hope that this year we have similar type of weather we had last summer. Over the weekend I was just browsing through on the Net trying to learn and find new interesting facts for general knowledge purpose and came across the World’s largest swimming pool 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 uses upto 67 million gallons of water and was completed and opened for use in 2006. Just imagine how many pool covers they would need to cover up the whole pool. I am so curious to know how they would actually clean this huge swimming pool. I have a swimming pool at home and the swimming pool chemicals I need costs me a fortune, I want to know how much these guys spend to clean the pool. These are definitely the first few questions I will ask them 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 come as a great surprise for her. Thinking about it may be I shouldn’t tell her as it will be a even greater surprise if I just took her there without telling her, obviously when we reach the airport she will realise we are going to Chile but still would be great to see her reaction when she finds out in the airport.
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 really looking forward to this break.
