The World’s Most Daring Swimming Pools

Swimming pools are generally considered to be everyone’s favorite part about a good vacation. It cools you off, it gives you exercise and it allows you to show off that poolside body you’ve been working on for two days in January. Don’t worry, no one follows through on their New Year’s resolutions.

But sometimes, swimming pools can be more. Some pools are exciting and quite the adrenaline rush. Well, I’ll be honest with you: swimming in them is probably a lot more expensive too. But let’s pretend that’s not an issue and take a look at some great locations for your next daring swim!

Sky Pool, London
Well, they didn’t make up the name. It’s a pool in the sky. It’s suspended 115 feet above the ground and has a glass bottom, which also means you can tell how far the fall down is at all times. Not for people with vertigo!

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Known as an “infinity pool”, this rooftop swimming pool pretty much runs all the way to the edge of the building. I mean, there’s a very thin edge for safety reasons, but you could pretty much literally swim to your imminent death. It has the best poolside view in the world, though! The pool seemingly flows over into the ocean below, hence the “infinity” pool.
