SKY SWIMMING...

Oh yes...it's possible if you stay at the most spectacular hotel in Singapore ( MARINA BAY SANDS HOTEL). The resort was designed by MOSHE SAFDIE ARCHITECTS.

Marina Bay Sands features three 55-story hotel towers which were topped out in July 2009. The three towers are connected by a 1 hectare sky terrace on the roof, named Sands SkyPark.

The SkyPark is home to the world's longest elevated swimming pool, with a 146-metre (478 ft) vanishing edge,  perched 191 metres above the ground. The pools are made up of 422,000 pounds of stainless steel and can hold 376,500 gallons (1424 cubic metres) of water. The SkyPark also boasts rooftop restaurants such as The Sky on 57 , nightclubs such as KU DÉ TA, lush gardens, hundreds of trees and plants, and a public observatory deck on the cantilever with 360-degree views of the Singapore skyline.

It looks scary, right??? ...Or maybe not, when you realize that the infinity edge swimming pool is not exactly on the very edge of the Skypark....:-D
