You couldn't pay me to swim in that. That looks terrifying.

You deserve a medal just for even thinking about it. Eh I guess it wouldn't be so bad as long as you kept away from the edges. It seems big enough for that

You can see them in the first pick. Hard to determine the height and how much they protrude out though

Whoever built that is totally missing the point of the infinity pool. It's supposed to create the illusion that it's connected to a body of water, like the ocean, not the illusion that if you swim too far you're going to fall off the side of the building.

Ah, so you won't fall to your death, but you will get minced up by the catchment area and pump :lol:

You can! I still think I have enough confidence in my swimming ability though, so long as I don't go too near the edge :P

Catching area or not, there's boats in there. what comes from boats zooming around? waves. a big enough wave could knock you clear out of there. I'd just rather not risk getting thrown down into the catching area at all.

Erm... those boats aren't in the pool. I presume you are looking at that last picture, correct? The pool is on top of that big building in the picture.

Imagine if you paid the zillions it costs to stay there, finally got in the pool... and it was cold. :P
