<center>The largest pool in the world was built in Chile, in the city of Valparaiso (a hundred kilometers West of Santiago) in the resort of San Alfonso del Mar. Its construction cost half a billion dollars!

It is not surprising that this pool is listed in the Guinness book of records, as the largest pool in the world — its length reaches a kilometer and three hundred meters, and the width is one hundred and fifty meters. The total surface area of the basin is about 8 hectares.

The maximum depth of the pool is 35 meters, therefore, in addition to the fact that it is the largest pool, it is also the deepest pool in the world (earlier this title belonged to the pool, located in Brussels — Nemo 33). To fill it you need two and a half million liters of water, which, incidentally, comes from the ocean after pre-treatment. It is so huge that you can even swim on a yacht, boat or catamaran.

The temperature of the Pacific ocean, on the shore of which is the longest pool is rarely heated above seventeen degrees Celsius. But this is not the only reason why this miracle swimming pool was built at the resort. The decision to build a pool was made due to the strong pollution of the ocean and a large number of sharks living off the coast.
