1. Ledge Pool
At 10 floors up, this hanging pool in Texas gives swimmers a dazzling view. The pool has an overhang of 8 feet directly above Dallas main street.
2. Baghdad Pool
Local Iraqi’s didn’t let the the small matter of a war stop them taking a dip. However I do worry a little about where that soldier is pointing his gun.
3. Worlds Deepest Pool
At 33 meters deep this is the worlds deepest manmade pool. The Nemo tank in Belgium is loved by scuba divers around the world.
4. Derelict (Radioactive) Pool
So you won’t find this at your nearest Hilton but this place is still really cool. This place would be great to host an illegal rave or even just some skating.
EDIT: Thanks to Nick for pointing out that this pool is actually in Chernobyl.
Nick: You do realise that pool is at Pripyat, a city in Ukraine that is abandoned due to it’s proximity to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster?
Don’t think many people would fancy a rave or some skating at the risk of radiation poisoning!
5. The Mayan Temple Pool
The Mayan Temple slide shoots you vertically through a shark tank. Thankfully the “leap of faith” is protected by flexi glass.
Recently one shark had its own leap of faith when it jumped the 1ft high barrier onto the slide itself. Whilst the shark survived the drop it sadly died in the chlorinated pool below.
6. Auckland Hilton Hotel
This unique pool has an underwater viewing window that offers breathtaking views of the harbour.
Peeping toms armed with a telephoto lens are in with a chance of catching a sight of bikini clad bathers.
7. Infinity Pool
Infinity pools are designed in such a way that it looks like the pool stretches on forever. This amazing example of such a pool is at the Bulgari Resort in Bali.
8. Worlds Largest Swimming Pool
Try holding your breath and swimming a length of this pool!
This mammoth of a pool is over 1,000 yards long and most people get around of small boats. With 60 million gallons of water, I wonder if its ok to take a piss in it?
9. Pool in your garage
Most of us can’t afford a $30 million infinity pool in our backyard but a guy named Paul didn’t let this put him off having a pool. Paul decided to convert his garage into a pool – DIY style. Using parts ordered off the internet, Paul managed to fit a pool where he used to park his Honda.
10.Golden Nugget Casino Pool
In true Vegas opulence this $30 million pool complex has a water slide passing through a shark infested tank.
11. Devils Swimming Pool
Each year the dry season allows the creation of mothers natures ultimate infinity pool. At any other time of the year, swimmers would be swept away to their deaths!
Low water levels reveal a rock wall that allows dare devil bathers the ability to swim just feet away from Victoria falls crashing into neighbouring Zimbabwe.
12. Mega packed Pool
The job of the lifeguard must be insane at this pool in the Chinese province of Sichuan.
