If you're going to sharm el sheikh, contact Camel dive and do a try dive.
You get taken down (only a couple of metres) one on one with a dive master and they'll control your boyancy etc, so all you have to do is glide through the water and breathe normally while you take in the sights!
Then sign up for one of their open water courses
Diving is one of the most relaxing things you can do, especially if you get your boyancy right.
I remember once at Ras Mohammed, we were letting the current take us along the top of the reef, feeling totally weightless, and looking down it was like the film footage of the Eagle about to land on the moon

That pool looks absolutely amazing, must take a few gallons of water to fill.
lauzjp do want you want to do, be what you want to be, but just do it!

Re: Fancy a Swim?
Seeing as NASA have the worlds largest NBL - I think it's rather fake....

NASA's pool is more normal shaped and has nearly 4 times the surface area of that pool. Its also uniformally deep.
Maybe it 'was' the biggest pool?

In terms of surface area this pool does not look particularly large. An olympic size swimming pool is 50 x 25 meters which seems a tad more than this one.

Jules!  did you never learn at school? I did, but I hadn't swum (or is it swam?) in years before last holiday - I was flapping around like I was having a seizure in the water; you couldn't look any worse than me trying again! 
I'm forever meaning to get into swimming again, not too far from a pool.. but I had scabies when I was younger, which left a lot of scars. And being allergic to cats I still get odd bites, which have to be scratched! Oh and then there's the chore of trying to get hair-free...
