We often talk about pools with a view, but that often means those waterholes perched in rain forests, or overlooking a stunning beach.

A Texas apartment building has taken things a step further, boasting a stunning view straight down to a busy street below.

Almost 155m above the street, this incredible pool has been dubbed the Sky Pool. Sitting on the 42nd floor of the Market Square Tower in Houston, it extends 3m over the side of the building, giving brave swimmers the feeling of swimming in thin air.

People who have seen the video have had varied reactions, from the understandable “Oh heeeeellll noooo!!” to the more adventurous “Awesome”.

Watch the video above to see what all the fuss is about.
