You know it's a big swimming pool when.....

It has life guards with jet skis, I think I need to go back to Shaghai and also plan a visit to Chile:

NOW this is a pool with a view!

The Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao’s glass-bottom pool partly hangs over a 24-storey drop, making it appear to be suspended in mid-air.
Offering a birds-eye view to the street below, the pool gives guests the feeling that they are swimming in the sky.

I have swum in a pool on the top of a hotel in Singapore before that was edgeless and allowed you to look over the side to the street below. That was cool.

However, world's largest pool? I flew over some huge resorts in hurghada and couldn't think of anything worse than staying there.

The pool referenced as being big is in fact the largest in the world, the picture is at the bottom of the article:

The largest swimming pool in the world is the San Alfonso del Mar seawater pool in Algarrobo, Chile. It is 1,013 m (3,324 ft) long and has an area of 8 ha (19.77 acre), it was completed in December 2006.

Looks pretty darn impressive to me, and I'd be up for the shanghai one.

Rats! I'm in Shanghai tomorrow and Friday but staying at the Hilton.

If I'd have known about this I would have been keen to give it a try.

Now on the list for next time I'm there.
