Longest Pool Ever!
October 5, 2007 in Freediving Spots by Jorg Jansen
So how long is the longest swimming pool and where is it located? Well, it’s located at San Alfonso del Mar in Chili. Take a look at this link to see the swimming pool through a satellite view. Entrepreneur Fernando Fishmann has created a very big resort with a 1 kilometer long pool.
After the last building phase the lagoon has reached its final size, over one kilometer long, 8 hectares in surface and 2.5 million liters of water. Too big to picture? Let’s put it this way: the size of the lagoon is equivalent to 64 regular 50 meter Olympic swimming pools!
Yet, size being as impressive as it is, the lagoon’s highlight is the crystal-clear, tropical blue color of its water attained through some kind of leading-edge technology they call Crystal Lagoons. This allows to harvest, filter and permanently recirculate ocean water. Water temperature in the summer is 26ºC , nine degrees warmer than the ocean.
So, who will be the first to set a world record dynamic dive over here? You can contact management through their website. Let me know when you’re going!
