  • The photographs displayed below are, as described, pictures of the world's largest swimming pool: a man-made, 3,324-foot long salt water lagoon at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile. Example: Designed by Crystal Lagoons corporation and completed in December 2006 after five years of planning and construction, the pool cost about $1.5 billion to build, covers more than 19 acres of surface area, holds about 66 million gallons, and offers transparent waters down to a depth of 11.5 (not 115) feet. The pool's maintenance costs are around $4 million dollars per year, which includes keeping its filtered and recirculated ocean water at a temperature of about 80°F during the summer: Guinness World Records have indeed vetted the San Alfonso del Mar pool as the world's largest, smashing a record previously held by the 8.9 acre saltwater Big Splash Orthlieb Pool in Casablanca, Morocco.
