  The Guinness World Records' record for the longest distance marathon pool rescue was 30,000 m (98,425 ft) by members of the Frinton and Walton Swimming Pool Lifeguard Team (UK) at Frinton and Walton Swimming Pool in Walton on the Naze, UK, on 8 July 2011.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most nationalities in a swimming pool; it is 82 and was achieved by Les Roches International School of Hotel Management (Switzerland), in Bluche, Switzerland, on 8 September 2012.

   Twelve Crystal Lagoons totaling 250 acres will be the centerpiece of the $5.5 billion dollar, 1,850-acre development in Citystars Sharm El Sheikh.

   The record-breaking lagoon is 30 acres of crystal-clear water surrounded by white sandy beaches - perfect for swimming, sailing, kayaking and more.

    Citystars Sharm el Sheikh's crystal lagoon get its salt water supply from wells in the middle of the desert that are otherwise useless, allowing for a tropical crystalline lagoon in the desert.

    In addition, the salt water used in the crystal lagoon features higher levels of purity and will be used for reverse osmosis desalinization processes, lowering the costs of water treatment.

   Miami-based Crystal Lagoons, valued at $1.8 billion dollars, developed a technology that allows for massive crystal lagoons to be built anywhere in the world. The sustainable technology uses 100 times less chemicals and 50 times less energy than a swimming pool.

     "Crystal Lagoons provides unprecedented real estate value," said Uri Man, CEO, Crystal Lagoons US, Corp. "We are excited about Crystal Lagoons impact on real estate development. Similar to the Citystars Sharm El Sheikh, many U.S. developers are using these crystalline lagoons to transform non-viable properties into viable development sites."
