$ B4 L- G* Q6 w8 d9 K 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。 1 w* h" P9 Y5 E5.39.217.76; j! D9 k8 ^. J# u& K
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。 $ Y) l; ~% p# m& D+ f% ]公仔箱論壇公仔箱論壇3 M2 c: ]" W9 [" c* L6 ^
