Highest Swimming pool in the western Hemisphere

I am told that the pool in this picture is the highest in the western hemisphere not sure if that is true or not but it is incredibly high.

Hancock Centers Pool and Lake Shore Drive

Hancock Centers Pool and Lake Shore Drive

I would imagine this claim to fame is based on height from ground not height above sea level. In which case I am pretty sure there are none higher. We are fortunate enough to have a pool in our building which is on the 24th floor and with some stunning views. I reckon the pool in the Hancock must be on the 50th or higher.

Still this picture blown up is fascinating, you can’t enlarge it on this blog but I may use it as a subject for a piece as it is a fabulous enlarged picture. You can even make out the people laying by the pool although of course you can’t make out faces. That would be a step too far with invasion of privacy.
