World's Largest Pool - It's Probably Bigger Than You'd Expect

The pool is estimated to have cost more than $1 billion to construct, is 3,324 feet long, covering near 20 acres.


In fact, it is so enormous that it is called a "lagoon," equivalent to about 6,000 standard-size 26 foot long pools.


The pool features depths of up to 115 feet and in the summer temperatures can reach near 80 degrees.

It holds the Guinness world record for the largest swimming pool in the world.

The pool is able to work by collecting, filtering and circulating sea-water.

The upkeep costs roughly $4 million annually.

Biochmeist and founder of San Alfonso del Mar resorts, Fernando Fischmann, boasted that his company has built "an impressive artificial paradise." "As long as we have access to unlimited seawater, we can make it work, and it causes no damage to the ocean," he reportedly said.
