A spectacular 50-meter pool in Hong Kong!

Though a bit garish for my taste this Kennedy Town swimming pool in Hong Kong is quite ambitious and quite a landmark. Obviously swimming is taken quite seriously in the east.

The western world should take notice that while our skylines are seemingly stagnant those in the east are surpassing ours in both style and functionality. There are 21 public pools in Hong Kong and Hong Kong is smaller than Los Angeles county California.

for what that pool would cost to build in the US as a city or school pool is just one more reason we don't have more nice pools. the population density in Hong Kong is much higher than any US city, so 21 pools is actually a small number.
