In: Found Online| Just Plain Awesomeness

**Digg this story!**

Check out these pictures of the world’s largest swimming pool, located in Chile.  Amazing!

From Snopes:
It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, had a 115-ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water. The Guinness Book of Records named the vast pool beside the sea in Chile as the biggest in the world. But if you fancy splashing out on one of your own and you have the space to accommodate it then beware: This one took five years to build, cost nearly $1 billion and the annual maintenance bill will be $2 million.

Can you imagine doing laps in this thing? !  For more pictures, click the link below.
