Sky swimming: Luxury London condo to get 'floating' pool
Love swimming? How about a refreshing dip while floating in mid-air?
That's the unique experience on offer to residents of a luxurious apartment block planned for central London.
City officials have given developers permission to build a transparent aquarium-like swimming pool hanging 10 stories above the ground.
The pool will be 90 feet long with water four feet deep. Its thick glass floor is designed to give swimmers the sensation of "floating in the sky," according to the Ballymore Group. It expects the first apartments will be occupied in 2018.
Once tired of swimming, the block's residents will be able to relax on a communal roof terrace and admire the views of Big Ben and the London Eye.
