I’ve been to the Victoria Falls and I’ve seen people swimming in the water at the top of the falls and it looks like the most incredible experience. You must feel like you’re swimming on top of the world!
Well, if you’ve been and know what I’m talking about, then get a load of this SkyPark in Singapore. The SkyPark is three times the size of an Olympic pool and is the largest ourdoor pool in the world at the height of 55 stories above the ground. We SkyPark is perched atop the three towers that make up the world’s most expensive hotel, the 4 billion Marina Bay Sands!
Take a peak:
[Thanks Mark]
Was up there the other day. Got some nice shots. Will post here when I upload them.
@Louis – Are you serious?
Yes, I’m living in Singapore. The end that sticks out is an observation deck. So went up there with friends who were visiting. S$20 p.p. Anyway there was a sort of back door open which allowed us to walk all the way down the length of the pool. I have a pic almost exactly like the last one on your post of random tourists in the pool :) Except mine are at sunset.
WOW Louis, that’s absolutely incredible, I’m dead jealous mate!
If you want to share the pics, please feel free to send them through to chris@imod.co.za – I’ll give you a shout out :)
I watched the making of it on Discovery!
The building is painted! Believe it or not, there are vertical panes of glass coming out of the superstructure to eliminate reflection/glare…
I’ve uploaded my personal pics to my blog/flickr. See them here:

@DarkHelmet – Now that’s a show I would have loved to see! It’s possibly one of the most awesome buildings I’ve ever seen.
@Louis – Thanks for the link to the photographs, looks quite incredible!
