Swimming Pools











Around October each year, it gets too cold to swim here in sunny Phoenix. It is a pretty long swimming season, and you can get a lot of use from your pool. Lots of people have pools here, but if you had one of these, your pool would stand out from the crowd:
This pool is on the 10th floor and hangs about 8 feet out over Main street in Dallas, TX.
The infinity edge is designed in such a way that it looks like the pool stretches on forever or drops off into nothing.
This is the deepest manmade pool in the world at 33 meters (108 ft). It is located in Belgium.
This pool is over 1,000 yards long, holds 60 million gallons of water, and people use small boats to get around.
This is a swimming pool in Sichuan, China. I have never seen people so tightly packed in a pool - even at YM/YW activities!

I think I like our pool best. A couple of those give me the creeps. It sure would be easy to lose your child in the last one & never find him!
