Opened in June, the centre is situated in a natural park in the Euganean Hills and there are plans to cover it in grass to blend it in with its environment.

The Y-40 has beaten the Nemo33 in Brussels, Belgium, which originally held the record for the world’s deepest indoor swimming pool at 34.5 metres and also has several underwater caves.

Chile has the record for the world’s largest pool which covers nearly 20 acres.
