Terrifying Infinity Pool; Cool Pool of the Month!

The infinity pool is – by far – the most beautiful type of swimming pool available. Infinity pool builders around the world are pushing the limit to build the best, or most eye-catching pool there is. A hotel called Marina Bay Sands in Singapore might just take the cake for the coolest – and maybe a little terrifying – infinity pool in the world. It might actually be more than just “a little terrifying”, as this infinity pool is on the ledge of a 55 story building!

Strategically placed right on the ledge of a 55 story building, this infinity pool makes it look like these swimmers might just fall over the edge of a sky scraper if they lean over too far...

Infinity Pool Designs

There are many types of infinity pools around the world, with styles varying generally by the pool's location. Basically, the infinity pool (otherwise know as a vanishing edge, zero edge, disappearing edge, or negative edge pool) is a swimming pool constructed to look like it blends into the horizon.
This pool blends into the city, but others will "blend into":
  • Valleys
  • The ocean
  • Woods
Basically, the wall of the infinity pool can't be seen above the water. The water in the pool spills over the edge into a basin and is then pumped back into the pool. In Florida, most infinity pools are built to "blend into" the ocean or bay.
