Plans are in place to build the world's first 360 degree infinity swimming pool in central London.
Guests will be able to swim 200 meters up, on top of a 55 storey hotel. They will access the pool via a rotating underwater spiral staircase which will rise from the floor when someone wants to get in or out.
The base will be clear, allowing people in the building to see up through the pool.
The pool will made from cast acrylic rather than glass, as this material transmits light at a similar wavelength to water so that the pool will look perfectly clear.
Construction of the building, to be known as Infinity, could start in 2020 if partners and contractors are confirmed.
May I ask... why?
I'm a non-swimmer, so I wouldn't use this even if it does go ahead - but, even for people who can swim, I'm not sure why they would want to combine their swimming with admiring the view from the top of a skyscraper?
