The L Series is the Roman-end pool in the River Pools lineup. A traditional Roman-end profile, rounded entry on one end and rectangular through the body, with a molded-in tanning ledge, an open swim lane, and a deep-end bench. One model: the L36 at 16' × 36'. Available in all six River Pools gelcoat finishes. Seven Seas Pools & Spas builds and services the L Series across our region.

What makes the L Series distinct in the River Pools lineup: it is the only Roman-end shape River Pools makes. Every other River Pools series is either strictly rectangular or fully freeform. The L36 sits in the middle: a rectangular body for swim space, with a rounded Roman entry that gives the pool a softer, more traditional read.

The L36 is the only model in the L Series. The Roman-end profile gives you a rounded entry on the shallow end and a rectangular shape through the body and deep end.
The L36 interior reads as three zones running from shallow to deep:
Roman entry and tanning ledge. The rounded shallow end holds the tanning ledge at the shallow lounging depth. The Roman shape gives the entry a wider footprint than a strictly-rectangular entry, which also expands the ledge.
Open swim lane. The rectangular body of the pool is uninterrupted floor, giving you a clear swim path between the tanning ledge and the deep end.
Deep-end bench. A built-in bench at the deep end of the rectangular body gives you in-water seating after a swim.
The Roman shape is purely architectural; the swim function is the same as a rectangular pool of the same size.
The Roman-end profile is the most traditional swimming pool shape in residential pool design. The rounded entry reads softer than a strict rectangle without going all the way to a curved freeform. Three reasons buyers pick the Roman-end over a pure rectangle:
All six River Pools finishes are available on the L36:
Arctic
Caribbean
Diamond
California
Maya
Sandstone
Both are 16'-wide rectangular-body pools at the L36 / R36 size. R is strictly rectangular and auto-cover-ready; L36 has a Roman entry and is not auto-cover-ready. Pick R for clean rectangular plus cover; pick L for Roman entry and traditional look.
Both have a tanning ledge and a 16' × 36' available size (the D36). D is strictly rectangular and auto-cover-ready; L36 has a Roman entry and is not auto-cover-ready. Pick D for rectangular plus cover; pick L for the Roman shape.
Both share the tanning ledge plus deep-end bench feature mix and the no-auto-cover constraint. C and I are fully freeform curved shapes; L is Roman-end (rectangular body with rounded shallow entry). Pick C or I for fully curved; pick L if you want the rectangular body's swim function with a softer shallow entry.

No. The Roman-end coping is not engineered for hidden cover tracks. A safety net or a manual cover is possible; an automatic safety cover is not.
Not as an integrated feature of the L36 shell. A standalone hot tub installed beside the pool is the cleanest path.
No, the L36 uses a conventional deep end. For a divable fiberglass pool, pick the T Series T40.
The rectangular body of the L36 is the swim zone, the same as the rectangular section of an R36. The Roman entry adds shallow footprint at the wading and ledge end; it does not reduce the open swim lane.
The L36 is the right answer when you want the rectangular swim function with a softer, more traditional entry shape, and an auto-cover is not part of the requirement. Call or stop by your local Seven Seas Pools & Spas to walk through the spec and confirm fit for your yard.
