  • CoffeeJoost, on 06/12/2008, -1/+5That is awesome. It's a salt water lagoon. I can see why it is attracting so many visitors. Like swimming in the ocean, but much safer.
    • ChromaVita, on 06/13/2008, -0/+2Which is just like swimming in a pool, but much saltier.

    Yep, I sure did.
  • britishdigger, on 06/12/2008, -0/+5This has been around for ages and was a massive story on the internet some time ago.

    However it is still a bloody massive swimming pool.

  • Cate320, on 06/12/2008, -3/+2Am I the only one that thinks a huge pool so near the ocean is a waste?
    • wynja, on 06/12/2008, -1/+1Have you ever been stung by a jellyfish? Nuff' said.
      • Cate320, on 06/12/2008, -0/+3well no, and I'm not sure how dangerous the chilean water is, but for me, the sea life is part of the fun.
    • Lane, on 06/13/2008, -0/+1I have and it's not that bad, and it's a great excuse to break out the vodka if it's not already in use.
  • ryansmith18, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1If it's big enough that you can comfortably drive a boat, is it really still considered a pool? Sounds like a man-made lake to me.
  • wynja, on 06/12/2008, -1/+6There's a ***** SAILBOAT in the POOL!!!!!!

    third image down.
  • PeTeRZz, on 06/12/2008, -0/+4I'd hate to be the pool guy
  • PeTeRZz, on 06/12/2008, -2/+1Imagine if someone ***** in it. They would have to drain the entire thing.
  • whiterice0, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2It has a 115-foot deep end. I think you could classify this as a small sea.
  • mnemy, on 06/12/2008, -2/+1Is there something wrong with the ocean 10 freaking yards away from it?

  • maretten, on 06/13/2008, -0/+4Judging by the picture, I'd say they grossly overestimated the amount of people that would use the pool.
  • ZaZ2137, on 06/13/2008, -2/+1The pool is so large because the ocean is infested with sharks, look it up.
  • fruscianteisgod, on 06/13/2008, -3/+1good now no one will catch me relieving myself in the shallow end
