Picture it. A series of pools anchored out in the middle of Berlin's Spree river.
Sounds hot? Well its warm actually, a comfortable 24 degrees celsius
for one in particular. The other pool is freezing cold and punters are
encouraged to experience the adrenalin rush of jumping from the extreme
heat to the cold. The ex river cargo container is 32.5 meters long by
8.2 meters wide and two meters deep. Surrounding areas include a
sandy deck and bar area, a dance floor as well as a spa which is
scheduled to ward off the winter chill. The idea was to allow people to
swim in style whilst maintaining the feeling that they are still in the
river itself. by Billy T
