This depends on what you mean by the term infinity pool. One is a brand name small pool, that you swim against a current produced at one end. The other is also an infinity pool (vanishing edge,negative edge), that gives the illusion of the pool wall, dropping off into space. here's an example http://phoenix.about.com/library/blpooltypes11.htm
The water flows over the edge into a collection resevoir, where it is drawn back into the filtration circuit again.

They pump the water from one side of the pool to the other. When you swim toward the current that the pumps make you can keep swimming but not move further along in the pool. That gives you the feeling that you are in an endless pool (infinite size).
