What is the largest swimming pool in the world?

Symbol of sunny days and holidays, a swimming pool can be built in various shapes and sizes. Some people have completely extravagant and extraordinary pools installed. We take you to discover the world's largest swimming pool with its incredible dimensions.

Where is it located?

The world's largest pool is located in South America, in Chile, in the seaside resort of Algarrobo, more precisely in a hotel called San Alfonso del Mar. It was inaugurated in 2006 and is considered, according to Guinness World Records, as the largest swimming pool in the world that exists at present.

XXL dimensions

Separated from the Pacific Ocean by a beach about a hundred meters away, this XXL swimming pool covers a total area of 7.7 hectares. It measures more than 1 kilometer in length with a maximum depth of 3.5 meters. It takes about 250 million liters of water to fill it, the equivalent of 80 Olympic swimming pools.

The maintenance of this swimming pool

The world's largest swimming pool in size costs over 2 million euros per year to maintain. Water changes and maintenance are done with a computerized and ultra-sophisticated system that pumps water directly from the ocean, filters it, and treats it. It is, moreover, a very clean pool with crystal-clear water.

Unfortunately, the largest swimming pool in the world is only accessible to residents of San Alfonso del Mar, whether they own or rent. But don't worry, you don't have to swim there to be happy!
