this place or just stick to your average swimming pool with all that said and done let's begin shall we number 10 the glass-bottom pool of China hotel pools have usually been designed with the hopes of giving people a chance to relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing in the case of urban hotels the pools are the perfect escape from the hustle and stress that comes from the big cities lifestyle and the never-ending meetings that come with it but the people at the Holiday Inn in Beijing decided that it was a good idea to give their guests a unique experience a glass-bottom pool you can find their pool on the 24th floor of the building as you swim forward you'll realize that part of it is hanging above ground and the only thing holding you as a thick layer of glass this allows you to see what happens underneath you but it will definitely send chills down your spine especially if you're afraid of heights while this is a crazy idea for a pool the concept has been built in different parts of the world in some parts the glass-bottom pools are bridges on which you can swim across two different buildings the popularity of these pools makes me realize on a lot of people the concept despite the height fear before we move on I've got a little challenge for you that I'll take 5 seconds to complete so here's the deal he does leave a like on this video smash that subscribe button hit the notification bell and you look at 25 years of amazing luck try it really works number 9 Marina Bay Sands Singapore if you like unique in fancy experiences here's another one for you that would be the infinity pool at the top of Singapore's Marina Bay Sands infinity pools literally give the impression of infinity due to the fact that they lack any elevated edges which allows the water to flow out this one in Singapore is about three times the size of an Olympic pool and it offers one of the best views of the city including gardens by the bay which is one of Singapore's most famous sites and is right next to this pool the pool is situated about 200 metres above ground which might be a bit frightening but just sip on a cocktail kick back and allow yourself to relax in one of the best and highest pools in the world number 8 sanctuary retreats Tanzania the next pool on this list is also an infinity pool and it might not be that terrifying since it's not as high above ground as the one in Singapore you'll feel relaxed as long as you don't pay attention to the wild animals near you but then again one of the reasons people go to Africa is to have a close encounter with the animal kingdom so if that kind of adventure calls you you might want to consider staying at a sanctuary retreat these retreats are among the best experiences that you can have in the continent and in the case of the sanctuary Swala in Tanzania your stay in the facilities include access to an infinity pool from which you can enjoy the views of a nearby waterhole a place often visited by elephants and sometimes even big cats it'll be like becoming part of their habitat even if it is just for a short period of time number seven the Golden Nugget USA is swimming close to wild animals is your thing that you might also want to get yourself inside the Golden Nugget in this place you can swim surrounded by sharks which is an exotic and quite scary experience that you could only find in the ocean and in places like Las Vegas where everything seems possible it's in this city where you can find the Golden Nugget an extravagant casino with a pool that cost nearly thirty million dollars to be completed that's the amount of money they needed to bring this crazy fool into existence we're the only thing separating you from the Sharks is a thick glass window which they say is more than enough to keep you safe from any unwanted encounter you can also go down a three story high waterslide that will send you right in the middle of the shark tank before you make it back to the pool this definitely sounds like an intense experience but no experience is crazy enough for a place like Las Vegas number six the RMS Queen Mary's swimming pool the next pool on this list is so old that a gained its spot on this list due to its reputation of being haunted this pool is inside the Queen Mary a famous abandoned ship in Long Beach California the ship was built in the year of 1930 and traveled the oceans for more than 30 years until its final cruise in 1967 now the place is a floating hotel on one of the most interesting attractions in Southern California but the ship is also considered a hotspot for spooky paranormal experiences some people claim to have seen a lady in white and some children hanging around the first-class pool of the ship today you can go on a tour around this haunted spot but you won't be allowed inside the full area because they have some restoration projects going but if you make it to the pool area you'll realize that you don't need to see a ghost to feel creeped out just the deteriorating walls around it will make you feel goosebumps as soon as you come into this part of the ship number five the Swedish ice swimming pool people usually look for pools in the summer but in the northern country some people like to push their boundaries and go for a swim in the winter in fact there are even official competitions for winter swimmers every year in the town of Scaletta Sweden swimmers from all over the world come together in February to race in ice-cold waters dipping in waters that are near freezing temperatures can make anyone unconscious in less than 15 minutes so once you jump in the water you can either die or start swimming people with fragile heart conditions are asked to see their doctors before participating in the event and there's also an experienced medical team and lots of hot water to help anyone who struggles during the race while most of us prefer warm water some experts believe that the cold water is actually good for your health that is if you know how to control it and use it to your advantage while there's still a lot of research to be done and it's said that people who take cold showers get less sick than people who shower with hot water so if you're not afraid of the cold this might be the next pool you want to add to your list of places to go in for a swim number 4 y40 Italy I couldn't miss the chance to include the deepest pool in the world on this list after all only brave and experienced swimmers will be able to even try it even they might be a bit scared to go in it the live forties main purpose is to help people develop and improve their diving skills and it seems like a perfect place to do so other than the ocean of course in 2014 the y40 became the deepest man-made pool in the world a title that previously belonged to Nima 33 in Belgium this pool is as deep as the chicago water tower is tall which is a distance of about 43 meters or the size of a 10-story building can you imagine swimming that deep before you go in you'll be asked to sign a waiver just in case something goes wrong once you reach the bottom of the pool you'll be able to explore some tunnels and even say hi to tourists who can watch you from outside in the past some swimmers haven't been able to make it back to the surface due to a problem called in the bends which is a decompression sickness that happens to people who push themselves too quickly to the surface from the depths of the waters but if you can hold your breath to go as deep as 43 metres and save enough air to come back up then you'll be fine number 3 The Devil's pool not all the pools are man-made there were also some given by nature in which we can go in for a quick dip and relax on a hot summer's day but even nature has given us some pretty crazy creations like The Devil's pool a swimming spot at the top of Victoria Falls one of the largest waterfalls on earth The Devil's pool is right at the spot where the river flows before going down a waterfall that sends down more than 500 million litres of water every minute once you're in you will most likely want to take a picture of yourself and have a quick swim but don't go in without the help of a local guide they are the ones who know how to best get in while staying safe the best time to visit is between August and January which is when the water levels make swimming possible and less risky the place is absolutely terrifying but you might as well jump in if you're there at the right time it sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience now it's time for the day's best ping for today's best pic I found a picture of what happens when a pool is overcrowded and even worse it shows what happens when things get a bit out of control in a water park number two wave pool at U long Shao Yin water amusement park one of the main attractions and a lot of parks around the world is the wave pool this water park in Long Jing China has one of them and back in 2019 their wave pool became the scenario of a crazy event one of the ways was higher than usual and crashed into a multitude of tourists who were swimming the wave was so big and scary that he even splashed water out of the pool prompting everyone to get out of the park it was like an artificial tsunami as a result 44 people ended up injured but luckily none of them died after some investigation went on the park authorities found out that the problem happened due to an electrical malfunction in the control room this issue caused this scary wave and as a result the park had to close while authorities look for a way to fix things overall wave pools are scary especially when a lot of people are in it you could easily get carried away by the wave as it splashes against the dozens of tourists that are waiting for it so always stay alert when you go inside a wave pool those bulls are just scary in general number one the pool of death at the top of this list I have another natural swimming pool one that people call the pool of death this one is in Hawaii's khipu Falls and it came from volcanic formations where ocean water gets stuck naturally creating a swimming spot however this place is only for strong swimmers who can fight their fears as they make it back to the shore depending on the tag you might be able to make it back to land safely or you might up to fight for your life in this place became the scenario of at least five deaths it came to the point that the government had to close it for the public but some people kept trespassing due to its thrilling and dangerous reputation and I think a lot of us would be very scared to come even close this kind of pool but some people will still go and give it a try even if it means risking their lives what do you think of these pools would you like to go swim in one of them which one would you avoid at all costs let us know in the comment section down below but all that said and done I will see you all next time later everybody [Music]
