The D Series is the rectangular pool with a built-in tanning ledge in the River Pools lineup. Clean rectangular footprint, a generous tanning ledge molded into the shallow end for shallow lounging, deep-end bench seating, and an auto-cover-ready coping line. Five sizes from the D24 (12' × 24') up to the D40 (16' × 40'). Available in all six River Pools gelcoat finishes. Seven Seas Pools & Spas builds and services the D Series across our region.

What makes the D Series distinct in the River Pools lineup: it is the rectangular pool with a real tanning ledge that still pairs with an auto-cover. The R Series is the open-swim rectangular pool. The X Series is the rectangular pool with spa plus tanning ledge. The D Series sits between them: tanning ledge yes, spa no, cover yes.

The full tanning ledge is included on every model in the series. The smaller D24 and D28 give you the same feature mix in a more compact footprint; the D36 and D40 give you the largest open swim zone behind the ledge.
The D Series tanning ledge is molded into the shell at the factory. The ledge sits at the shallow-lounge depth, which keeps partially-submerged lounge chairs above water while submerging your legs. The ledge floor uses slip-resistant gelcoat. A spillway edge between the ledge and the main pool keeps the water level even across both zones.
Typical add-ons your Seven Seas installer can quote alongside the shell:
A built-in bench at the deep end gives you a place to sit after a swim without climbing fully out. The bench is molded into the shell at the same time as the tanning ledge and is finished in the same gelcoat.
The D Series coping line is engineered with hidden tracks for an automatic safety cover. When you order the cover with your install, the tracks tuck under the decking. The cover sleeve at the deep end hides under a flush bench or a low-profile housing.
If you have small children, live in a region that requires safety covers, or simply want one less surface to manage in winter, the auto-cover-ready coping makes the D Series a clean choice without retrofit work.
All six River Pools finishes are available on every D Series model:
Arctic
Caribbean
Diamond
California
Maya
Sandstone
Both are rectangular and auto-cover-ready. D Series has a built-in tanning ledge; R Series does not. Pick D if you want shallow lounging in the shell; pick R if you want maximum open swim.
Both are rectangular, auto-cover-ready, and ship with a tanning ledge. X Series adds the integrated spa; D Series does not. Pick D if you don't want the spa, or want to add a standalone hot tub separately; pick X if you want one shell that includes everything.
Both are rectangular, auto-cover-ready, and ship with a tanning ledge. M Series prioritizes the swim lane for lap swimming; D Series prioritizes the tanning ledge for lounging. Pick D if your use is more lounging than laps.
Both have a tanning ledge and a deep-end bench. D Series is rectangular and auto-cover-ready; C Series is freeform and not auto-cover-ready. Pick D if the cover matters; pick C if the curves matter.
Seven Seas Pools & Spas can walk you through the model sizes, gelcoat color options, decking, equipment, and installation details before your project moves forward.
The ledge runs across the shallow end of the shell. Exact dimensions scale with the model size: a D40 ledge is larger than a D24 ledge. Seven Seas walks you through the per-model spec during the consultation.
Yes. Bubblers and a center umbrella sleeve are common add-ons to the D Series tanning ledge and are plumbed into the shell during the install.
Yes, the bench sits below the cover line. The cover passes over the pool at the coping height.
Not as an integrated feature of the D Series shell. A standalone hot tub installed beside the pool is the cleanest path. Many D Series installs include a Hot Spring or Caldera Spas hot tub on its own pad nearby.
