Secret Chicago just dropped a secret for us all:
Dubbed “the world’s deepest warm water therapy pool” the facility will be “a worldwide destination for research, rehabilitation, education, and training”, thanks to efforts from Downers Grove’s volunteer-driven nonprofit organization Diveheart.
The main 130-foot “telescopic” diving pool will offer a confined and safe warm water environment to enjoy the benefits of deep open-water diving, all the while unaffected by the unknowns of weather, water movement, and other factors. The therapeutic diving center will take at least two years to build once funding is secured though Elliott and the team are seeking funding for not only the construction of the facility but also for an endowment that ensures everyone who can benefit is able.
This will be the deepest pool in the entire country.
