The World's Largest Swimming Pool : Orthlieb Pool

Largest Swimming Pool in the World - Orthlieb Pool



The world's largest swimming pool is the Orthlieb pool in Casablanca Morocco. This is the largest swimming pool in the world certified by Guinness is San Alfonso del Mar pool in Algarrobo, Chile. This biggest pool is 480 meters or 1,574 feet long and 75 meters or 246 feet wide. The Orthlieb Pool is filled with sea water and covers a soggy 8.9 acres.
 


Its turquoise waters are so crystal clear that you can see the bottom even in the deep end. The sun warms the water to 26c, nine degrees warmer than the adjoining sea. Chilean biochemist Fernando Fischmann, whose Crystal Lagoons Corporation designed the pool, said advanced engineering meant his company could build 'an impressive artificial paradise' even in inhospitable areas. 'As long as we have access to unlimited seawater, we can make it work, and it causes no damage to the ocean.'
