My Continued Fascination With Swimming Pools

I THOUGHT I HAD THE UNSURPASSABLE CASE of pool envy a couple of months ago when I posted something about the pool at the $5 billion Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore. But it looks like I have a new ultimate pool destination resort—the San Alfonso del Mar in Algarrobo, Chile. This pool covers 20 acres, holds 66 million gallons of water, has a 100-foot-deep, deep end, and costs $4 million a year for maintenance.

Triathlon training in this pool would require very few flip turns. Yes!

More about the resort.
