San Alfonso del Mar
San Alfonso del Mar is a private resort in Algarrobo, Chile, about 100 km (62 mi) west of the capital Santiago.[1] The resort is recognised as having the world's largest swimming pool.[1][2]
The pool is 1,013 m (3,323 ft) long,[2] covering 8 ha (20 acres),[2] containing some 250 million litres (66 million US gallons)[3] of seawater, with a maximum depth of Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value)..[4] The water is pumped from the Pacific Ocean, filtered, and treated.
Development
The pool was developed by Fernando Fischmann; his Chilean company Crystal Lagoons built the pool, which opened in December 2006. While early estimates put the total cost of construction at about US$3.5 million for the filtration system alone,[5][6] more recent estimates are in the area of US$1.5 billion to US$2 billion total for construction and almost US$4 million in annual maintenance.[3][7][8]
