如果你打算到智利阿爾加羅波市的嬉水樂園的游泳池游玩的話，那麼你或許需要在下水之前多喝一些運動型功能飲料，因為它實在是太大了。《吉尼斯世界紀錄大全》已正式認定它為世界上規模最大的游泳池。這個游泳池的長度超過914 米，總面積達到8 萬平方米，池水最深處為35.05 米，整個游泳池可以容納下25 萬立方米的水，甚至可以讓小型船只在其中任意航行。2 D5 U/ O5 p1 [# _

自從今年8 月落成開業以來，已經有大批游人特意前往這裡參觀游玩，為的就是能夠親身體驗一下它與眾不同的魅力。據悉，建造這座游泳池花費了5 年時間，耗資近10 億英鎊，每年的維護費用高達 200 萬英鎊。它的碩大無比也使得目前排名世界第二的摩洛哥“大水花”游泳池相形之下顯得過於渺小，因為後者的長度與寬度分別僅為137.16 米和91.44 米。 9 q) J+ O3 O, i& @$ D. k' A' e$ z. u5 z! P* w' _: B
其實，說它是游泳池還不如說是人造海水瀉湖更恰當，因為游泳池內的水並不像普通游泳池一樣使用循環淡水，而是綠寶石色的海水。智利這家巨型游泳池通過一套計算機系統來控制海水的吸入與過濾，從而保證池內的海水總是十分新鮮的。太陽的照射使得池水的溫度可以達到26℃，而這要比相鄰的海水高出整整9 攝氏度。( D- G8 _0 A2 w8 l' y
