With the overnight temperatures 15 degrees below zero up here in Minnesota in recent days, this story from the London Daily Mail struck my fancy. It seems that a resort in southern Chile has designed and built the world's largest swimming pool. According to the article in the Daily Mail, "[The swimming pool] is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, has a 115-foot deep end, and holds 66 million gallons of [salt] water." Think of it—this pool is ten football fields long. If you had twenty acres of property, you could have your subdivision and build quite a few houses.
Basically, you can make of it what you will, but it seems like nothing is sacred anymore. I am certain that this Chilean resort invested a huge sum of money to develop this "natural" theme park. Undoubtedly, people from all over the world will make a visit, just so that they can say, "I swam in the largest swimming pool in the world!" I can't say that I really blame them for feeling that way, especially since the thermometer up here in Minnesota has had a hard time getting above zero the last few days.

I would like to go visit the resort sometime, but will probably not afford the fee.
Its a nice blog posted by you. I was seeking for this type of blog that have a fresh and interesting content. I also have a really nice site where you can find salt chlorinator and pool cleaner for swimming pools within minimum prices. Please have a look on it.
