Don't go off the VERY deep end... Infinity pool 55 STOREYS above ground opens in Singapore in dazzling new £4bn resort

By Lucy Ballinger

If you fancy a dip in this pool, you'll need a head for heights - it's 55 storeys up.

But swimming to the edge won't be quite as risky as it looks. While the water in the infinity pool seems to end in a sheer drop, it actually spills into a catchment area where it is pumped back into the main pool. At three times the length of an Olympic pool and 650ft up, it is the largest outdoor pool in the world at that height.

It features in the impressive, boat-shaped 'SkyPark' perched atop the three towers that make up the world's most expensive hotel, the £4billion Marina Bay Sands development in Singapore.

I'd rather do that than play tennis at the top of that tower in Dubai.

:scared:

that's not real is it?

Just wow!

Heights! :scared:
I was at a hotel in SoCal when a small-moderate earthquake happened. The pool water was sloshing back and forth. Since buildings are built to move, this pool would be crazy in an earthquake!

Tops of skyscrapers are usually windy, and do they have thunderstorms in Singapore? Yes...I googled-

*POOL CLOSED DUE TO WEATHER* :hi:

and I'm with you; heights freak me out. That pool would be a nightmare!

I'd love to swim in that pool. I'd probably never want to get in mine again. :-)

Those infinity pools kinda do that to me anyway for some reason, but at 55 stories? Oh yeah. :crazy:

These are the monuments of the dystopia that the world has become.



I know, it's not a Lounge attitude, but Oh Well.

Lame...
