(not a photoshop)

Just be sure not to jump over the edge on the wrong side.

Wow... it's like a giant banana-shaped cruise ship with legs.


It's pretty.

Probably a lot of people would be scared to swim in that. Neat effect though.

We had a swimming pool for a few years, which constantly got dirty and had bugs in it. Eventually, I'd just go to Lake Huron to swim, then I moved to metro Detroit and very rarely swam after that.

Paulguy's Post configuration
I wonder how far down the catchment under the pool is, and if it's particularly easy to fall out of THAT afterwards. It looks like there's a reasonable ledge, though, so it's not like you're just going to flow over it like a waterfall, unless you're an idiot.

Would suck on a windy day. They'd probably have to close to pool anyway.

I would totally swim in it. There are some pools like that here in Vegas, but on a much smaller scale. I believe its the Palms that has a pool hanging out over the side of the building and has a glass bottom so you can look down through it.

Sounds like something out of Mario Galaxy. I'd swim in it.

I would swim in it but I would like to have a rope or something attached to my waist via a harness with the other side attached to a column. Just in case, you know.

I have no idea, but I'd guess the falling water would potentially mess up a parachute...

But it'd still be fun to swim and actually jump over the edge with something that makes you [trope=NotTheFallThatKillsYou]not be crushed[/trope] [trope=SuperDrowningSkills]upon contact with water[/trope]. Or whatever is below the pool.

There is a catch that gets the water. How far down it is I'm not sure, but from the top of the towers to the ground would definitely be enough to kill you. Pretty tall buildings.

It looks fun enough to swim in, I'd just avoid flying off the edge.

There is an old abandoned bridge near where I live. There is -of course- a river under it.

I jump off that bridge and into the water all the damn time.

That pool; I would swim in a hearbeat.

They should make a water slide that goes all the way down.

That would be fun.

Would suck to climb the stairs afterward. Though I would guess they would provide an elevator specifically for wet guests who went on the slide.
