infinity-pool


Definition from own experience or research:
En infinity-pool er en swimmingpool, der visuelt giver indtryk af, at vandet strækker sig ud i horisonten.

Example sentence(s):
  • Feriekomplekset byder på infinity-pool med spabad. - Travelstart.dk  
  • Moderne luksushotel, hvor du kan beundre udsigten fra infinitypoolen over Aqababugtens fortryllende silhouet. - Apollorejser.dk  
  • Avista Resort & Spa tilbyder massage og kropsbehandling på Sukko Spa samt mulighed for at tage en afslappende svømmetur i infinity-poolen. - Evolution Your  

Explanation:
Jeg ville vælge at bruge betegnelsen med bindestreg frem for "infinitypool" eller det grammatisk forkerte "infinity pool", da "infinity" jo er et engelsk ord, mens "pool" er godkendt af Dansk Sprognævn (selvom det er en låneord), og i sådanne tilfælde er det normalt at sætte bindestreg for at adskille ordene, men dog alligevel skrive navneordet sammensat og grammatisk korrekt.

Endeløs pool


Definition from Wikipedia:
Endeløst svømmebassin (engelsk: infinity pool, infinity edge pool, negative edge, zero edge, «disappearing edge» eller vanishing edge pool) er et svømmebassin, som skaber en visuel effekt ved at vandet fortsætter mod horisonten.

Example sentence(s):
  • Hotellet har 227 værelser i form af bungalower, der strækker sig helt hen til poolområdet, hvor der er en børnepool og mageløs, endeløs pool med udsigt ud over Nilen. - Egypt travel  
  • Hotellet er unikt designet til at give gæsterne en fantastisk oplevelse, poolen ligger på en skråning så man får fornemmelsen af at ligge i ”endeløs” pool. - Travel Forum  
  • Balkonen er ydermere forsynet med jacuzzi og en "endeløs" pool, hvor man om aftenen kan dykke ned og føle, at man kan svømme direkte ud i byens spejlende skyskrabere. - Rejseliv.dk  

Explanation:
En lidt mere dansk version, hvis man foretrækker det. Wikipedia kalder det for "endeløst svømmebassin", men det lyder lidt tungt, synes jeg.
