taking swimming to new heights

This picture has been giving most of us at Black Tomato the heebee-jeebees. Don’t know about you, but infinity pools seem to work best for us when it gives the illusion of going on into infinity – not dropping off a 55 storey building.

This is the Marina Bay Sands resort swimming pool in Singapore and it’s huge. Three times the length of a Olympic pool, it’s the world’s largest outdoor pool at 650ft in the air. But panic not, the pool doesn’t really drop off the edge, but in fact falls into a catchment area where it’s pumped back into the pool. With over 2,000 rooms coming in at £350 a night, we can’t imagine what happens when everyone wants to go for a dip. Good things there’s a casino downstairs to keep everyone busy while they wait their turn.
