Take a dip in the world’s largest swimming pool

The San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile, is home to the Crystal Lagoon, otherwise known as the world’s largest pool.
Spanning more than three-fifths of a mile, the colossal creation is equivalent to the length of 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools and is surrounded by artificial beaches.
This man-made lagoon contains 66 million gallons of seawater, drawn from the ocean using a computerized suction-and-filtration system.
Opened in 2006, it’s reported to have taken more than five years to construct.
