Many conflicting answers and the Guiness World Book has nothing recorded on this fact. I tend to agree with Nasa and the Discovery channel whose answer is listed last in this list of answers I found:

1. The single largest swimming pool on the planet is in Garden City, Kansas, in the United States of America. This huge pool measures 220 feet by 330 feet, roughly the size of a football field. It holds 2.6 million gallons of water.

2. The largest swimming pool in the world is the seawater Orthlieb pool in Casablanca, Morocco. It's 480m long and 75m wide (with an area of 3.6ha)......................... Also this...........In Garden City,Kansas.......The 'Big Dipper' as it was called in 1922 when it was first built, is a very large pool. When all the adjectives are added, it is the 'largest outdoor, concrete, free, municipal pool in the world'. The pool measures 220 feet by 330 feet, roughly the size of a football field. As a promotion for a post card many years ago, a motor boat was placed on the water and pulled a water skier around the pool! Large as it is, it is not the world's largest pool. There are others that are larger. We are the world's largest free swimming pool in the world. The pool holds approximately 2.6 million gallons of water.
