Jerry and Marina Leussink live on a farm in the town of Sundre in Alberta, Canada.

In 2013, the couple set out to turn their farm into a family resort, as spotted by the website Wide Open Country. With some help from his two brothers, Jerry built an enormous 90-foot-long and 70-foot-wide swimming pool that can hold 1.2 million liters of water, or over 317,000 gallons.

When it's fully filled, the pool is 14 feet at its deepest, and there's also a shallow end for kids.

In order to weigh down the liner that prevents weeds from growing through the bottom of the pool, Jerry added rocks around the sides of the water. He also surrounded the pool with wooden posts and rope to make the area look like a wharf.

The Leussinks clean the pool themselves by adding chlorine and rotating the water with a pumping system.

Since 2013, Jerry and Marina's farm has turned into the perfect spot for their family and friends to swim and camp in the summer. In the winter, the Leussinks even turn the pool into a family ice-skating rink.
