The N Series is the compact plunge pool in the River Pools lineup. A flat-bottom modern plunge configuration built for tight yards, cool-down soaks, and low-maintenance enjoyment. Two configurations: the N16 and the N16L (with a built-in sitting ledge), both at 8'4" × 16'. Available in all six River Pools gelcoat finishes.

What makes the N Series distinct in the River Pools lineup: it is the only plunge pool River Pools makes. Every other River Pools series is built for full-yard installation. The N Series is built for small yards, courtyards, side-yard installs, and any project where a 16-foot footprint is the maximum that fits.
Explore the River Pools N Series with Seven Seas Pools & Spas and compare the layout, gelcoat finishes, and installation details before you decide.
| Model | Dimensions | Sitting Ledge | Floor Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| N16 | 8'4" × 16' | No | Flat-bottom |
| N16L | 8'4" × 16' | Yes (built-in) | Flat-bottom |
The N16 and N16L share the same footprint. The N16L adds a built-in sitting ledge along one edge, which gives you in-water seating without giving up plunge floor space.
The N Series uses a flat-bottom plunge geometry, which means the pool holds water at one consistent depth across the entire shell. Three structural advantages of the plunge configuration:
Reduced water volume. A smaller pool holds less water, which means lower chemical load, faster heating, and lower utility bills.
Fits in yards a full-size pool can't. The 8'4" × 16' footprint fits in courtyards, side-yard runs, and small backyard sections that wouldn't accommodate even the R20 (10' × 20').
Faster install. Smaller excavation, smaller decking, faster total project time than a full-size pool.
The plunge is not a substitute for a swim pool. It is the right answer when a swim pool is not feasible.
The N16L adds a built-in sitting ledge along one edge of the shell. The ledge sits below water at a depth designed for in-water seating, so two to three people can sit on the ledge with their shoulders above the water line while the rest of the pool stays open. The ledge does not eat into the plunge floor; it is integrated into the side of the shell.
If your N Series will get used primarily by one or two people for cool-down soaks, the N16 is enough. If the pool will host conversation, drinks, or a group of three to four adults at a time, the N16L's sitting ledge is the better fit.
All six River Pools finishes are available on both N Series configurations:
Arctic
Caribbean
Diamond
California
Maya
Sandstone
Both are rectangular. The R Series is a full-size swim pool with a sloped floor; the N Series is a plunge with a flat bottom. Pick R if you have yard room and want to swim; pick N if you don't have yard room or don't need to swim.
Both are flat-bottom. The A Series scales up to 16' × 36' as a full play pool; the N Series stays at 8'4" × 16' as a plunge. Pick A for full play space; pick N for a plunge in a tight yard.
The N Series is a plunge pool you step into; a swim spa is a smaller appliance that generates a swim current you can train against. If swimming is the use case, the Endless Pools swim spa lineup is a better fit at a similar footprint. If standing-depth soaking is the use case, the N Series fiberglass shell is the better fit.
The N Series is a cool-water plunge at swim-pool temperature; a hot tub is heated water for soaking. They serve different use cases. Many compact yards include both: a Hot Spring or Caldera Spas hot tub for hot soaks and an N Series for cool-down.
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 N Series is a flat-bottom plunge at a depth designed for standing immersion. Confirm the exact depth with Seven Seas during the consultation.
No. The 16-foot length is too short for any meaningful lap distance, and the depth is set for standing rather than lap-swim. For a small-footprint swim option, pick an Endless Pools swim spa instead.
Yes. The plunge can run on a heater the same way a full-size pool does. The smaller water volume means the pool heats faster and costs less to run at temperature.
Yes. It is a permanent inground fiberglass shell with the same install permanence as any other River Pools product. Local code and insurance language vary; confirm specifics with your municipality and your insurance carrier.
No. The N Series coping is not engineered for hidden cover tracks. A safety net or a manual mesh cover is the manual option.
The N Series is the right answer for tight yards where a full-size pool is not feasible but a real inground fiberglass shell still is. Call or stop by your local Seven Seas Pools & Spas to walk through the lineup and confirm fit for your yard.
