A swimming pool

This swimming pool measures 1013 meters and contains 250 millions of litres of sea water. It's the longest swimming pool in the world. It's open since january. It is located between Pacific and a tourist center (10 buildings) . It's in Algarrobo (Chili). This pool has cost 1.33 billions euros and its yearly maintenance is 2.6 millions euros. It's so big that you can swimming of course but you can sailing and to go canoeing too. It's reserved for custommers tourist center.
Others projects like that are plan in Argentine, Dubai, Egypte and Greece.
But why install this work just next the ocean ? Because in this region, the temperature in the sea never pass 10°c, whereas, in the Algorrobo swimming poll, water is at 26°c whith the sun !

Hi Mookie !
Great picture you posted here... I like the swimming pool and I hope that later I will be able to have the same one ! I know, I got to work before but if I'll earn enough money to buy me a swimming pool, I promise you I'll help you to build your restaurant !
