If you're anything like me, you're always looking for that next "wow" moment on your travels. I’ve found that nothing does it quite like a truly unforgettable swim. That’s why I want to let you in on something special—these unique swimming pools turn a simple dip into something you'll be talking about for years.

I’ve had the chance to experience some of these for myself, and let me tell you, once you’ve floated in a pool with a cliffside view or stepped into a steamy geothermal lagoon, regular pools just don’t cut it. If you're ready to shake up your idea of swimming, this list is for you.

Highlights:

  • I stood on the edge of an infinity pool in Bali—you need to feel that breeze!
  • You’ll love the thrill of swimming high above the city in rooftop pools in Singapore and Dubai.
  • I soaked in Iceland’s Blue Lagoon and felt like I was on another planet.
  • You’ve got to try the underground cave pools in Mexico’s cenotes—I didn’t want to leave.
  • And if you’re brave like I tried to be, step out onto a glass-bottom pool floating over a skyline. It’s wild.

So go ahead—dive in. I promise, once you try even one of these, you’ll never look at swimming the same way again.
