A small town about 70 miles southwest of Houston, known for its farming history and immigrant heritage, now is home to the world's largest backyard swimming pool built in 2009 by Kuykendall Custom Pools Inc. in Conroe, the resort-style pool belongs to Mike Mobley and his family, who have shared the amenity with the community.
With its 21-foot water slide, two hot tubs, sunken bar, outdoor kitchen, six water falls and 500-foot "lazy river," the $3 million pool is a popular weekend destination. built on the site of a two-acre pond. The Mobleys' holds 600,000 gallons of water, they removed some water not to scrimp but to give the lazy river an optional faster speed. Some new, stronger pumps were installed, and the bottom was raised to reduce the load on them.
