The success of Chinese swimmers at competitions of various levels is the hallmark of the Celestial Empire. However, for mere mortals who cannot afford elite sports schools, swimming is akin to real luxury. The most that visitors can expect giant public pools- it is to stand in the water in order to escape the scorching sun at least for a while, because swimming among the crowd of thousands is simply physically impossible.
One of the reasons the pools are overcrowded with visitors is their small number. In addition, most of them are in the open air, so the Chinese cannot afford to go swimming all year round. As incomes rise, the swimming industry is expanding and new modern hot tubs are emerging in China. One of the attractions is the Dead Sea of China, the man-made Dead Sea, a salt water pool in Sichuan province, which covers an area of 30,000 square meters and has a capacity for up to 10,000 visitors. Although there is an even larger pool in China, it is located in Yao Stink and is ready to accommodate up to 230,000 swimmers at a time! These pools can only be compared in size to the huge Chilean pool of San Alfonso del Mar, which has entered the Guinness Book of Records.
The main problem of all municipal basins in the Celestial Empire, which is easy to guess, is pollution. In the reports of specialists from the Ministry of Health, shocking numbers constantly appear - about 10% of all pools do not meet hygienic standards. For example, last year four serious water poisonings were recorded: three people managed to survive after a course of treatment, for one the poisoning turned out to be fatal.
The problem of water purification is also faced in Tokyo, where on hot days thousands of people flock to water parks and swimming pools, but the cleanliness of the Japanese managed to cope with the problem perfectly. According to the administrator of the largest water park Tokyo Summerland, the water here is so clean that you can drink it!
