Biggest pool in the World

The biggest Pool is in the world situated at The hotel San Alfonso del Mar in Chile, it is 1013 metres length, the area - 8 hectares. Impurity of ocean and considerable quantity of sharks at coast became one of the reasons of construction of pool. Necessarily I will go there to have a rest, though it is strange to swim in huge pool when nearby there is ocean =)
