B*gger that Kenny
you'd have to pay me a lot of money to get me into a pool like that !
Im not even all that keen on infinity pools
i don't like being in a boat on the open sea only the harbour (because it has 3 sides)
 
Yikes! I wouldn't want to walk under that. Water is heavy!
 
Nope. Uh uh.
 
Oh yes!! I'd swim in it very happily.
 
This reminds me of the amazing film, "Man on Wire".
Back in 1974 French tightrope walker Phillip Petit did the unthinkable.

No. Way.

I hate heights, not getting me near that!
 
It looks amazing but I wouldn’t go in it and I’m not sure I would go under it either!
 
I mean, I guess if you're an exhibitionist... Otherwise I'm having trouble envisioning the appeal of having literally everyone on the street staring at you from every angle...
 
There’s a similar pool in Honolulu cantilevered out over an apartment building. Every time we visit our kids think it’s cool but my stomach says no way!

I'm not an "exhibitionist".
"Having literally everyone on the street staring at me from every angle" is neither appealing or unappealing to me; I just don't care.
I'm indifferent to others when it comes to the experience of swimming up there.
Maybe I'm neither proud, nor ashamed, of how I look in a bathing suit.

For me it's only about what I expect would be an awesome experience ... swimming up in the sky.
I'd also wear a snorkel mask so I could look down at the world and the people below.

Of course neither of us is right or wrong.
But is is interesting that we have opposite reactions to the same pic.

No...........I get anxiety just looking at it...I wouldn’t walk under it either....
 
One thing about others watching from below, I suspect fewer people will pee in that pool.

Oh hell no!!
 
I'm curious about its expected lifespan.
I think temp variations over many seasons, sun, & UV break down glue and sealers not to mention the acrylic itself?

Does such a large body of water up high attract lightning?
Is it grounded like tall buildings?

I don't think I'd swim in it in 50 years or so ... well, not sober anyway.

If I was invited over for the day (cannot possibly afford to live there) I would certainly swim in it. I too would take a snorkel so I could see the world below. I don't like heights but I wouldn't want to miss out on the opportunity to swim in the sky:DPerhaps we could swim together Kenny! :D
 
I'd enjoy diving into it! The closest one could come to leaping off a ledge into the blue sky with no parachute. And I love swimming in any scenario. As for walking under it - that wouldn't bother me any more than walking under a bridge.

ETA From 115 ft below, through water, I don't know how much people below actually *could* see of you. Not much, I'm guessing.

What do you think "flats?" go for there?

But sure, let's take a dip.
How many people can say they swam in the sky?

If your real name happens to be Lucy, you'll be "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". :bigsmile:
But if stealing their song title pisses off Paul and Ringo and they throw hand grenades into the pool, folks would say, "Those bastards; :angryfire: They killed Kenny AND Lucy!"

@kenny I would love to do it and you know I am more than a "tubby"!! We have one in Houston, if anyone ever invites me to their HighRise Apt I would jump at it. =)2

Glass-bottomed pool 500 feet above downtown Houston

If spectacular heights give you that sinking feeling, then this is not the swimming pool for you.

I exhibit more "water displacement" than I'd like. ;))
But then, just more to love. :kiss2:

You'd have to have a lot of faith in engineers, architects, materials manufacturing plants, and raw materials. I have some faith in most, but not a lot of faith in all of them. So many things can go wrong. Hard pass.

Frequently, but only because I hate driving even more. I do it out of necessity. Swimming in that pool is not a necessity.

eta: but if there's money involved, i might swim there!
