Ariel 16
The Ariel 16 is Latham's largest rectangular model in the new collection, and it earns that footprint. A full tanning ledge, swim-up bench seating, multiple entry and exit points, and an auto cover ready shell are all built in. At 16' x 40' it delivers genuine lap swimming space alongside dedicated lounging and socializing areas. Casey's All American Pool is an authorized Latham dealer serving Belpre, Parkersburg, and the entire Mid-Ohio Valley.

The Ariel 16 includes a full tanning ledge molded directly into the shell. At 16 feet wide the ledge has genuine room for multiple people at once, which sets it apart from narrower models where the ledge can feel cramped. The water depth on the ledge sits at roughly 6 to 8 inches, enough to stay cool while lounging in the sun and shallow enough for young children to play safely.
Because the ledge is part of the fiberglass shell and not a separate add-on, it holds its shape and finish for the life of the pool with no extra maintenance required.
Built-in bench seating runs along the interior perimeter of the Ariel 16, giving everyone a place to sit partially submerged. On a 16-foot wide pool this bench is proportioned generously and does not cut into the swim lane in the center. It is the spot where every gathering naturally ends up, whether that is a summer cookout or a quiet evening after work.
Like every feature on the Ariel 16, the bench is molded into the fiberglass shell itself. No grout lines, no replacement cycle, no separate hardware to maintain.
The Ariel 16 shell is engineered from the ground up to accept an automatic safety cover. For a pool this size, an auto cover is one of the most practical additions you can make at installation time. The cover keeps debris out, slows evaporation, reduces heat loss, and cuts chemical usage significantly over the course of a season. For families with young children or pets the safety benefit is the primary reason people add it.
Adding the cover at installation is considerably less expensive than retrofitting it later. Casey's will walk you through cover brands and pricing during your free consultation.
The Ariel 16 drops to a 7'4" deep end, which is one of the deeper options in the Latham rectangular lineup. That depth is meaningful for families who want real diving depth or serious recreational use. The gradual slope from the shallow tanning ledge through the bench seating area and into the deep end is one of the things that makes this pool work for multiple people doing different things at the same time.
The 40-foot length gives adults room to swim laps while kids play in the shallow end, and the 16-foot width means there is always room to move.
The Ariel 16 is available in Latham's full Crystite color range across two finish families. Crystite Crystal adds a shimmer effect embedded under the gel coat surface. Crystite Classic is the traditional solid finish. Both are engineered to resist fading, staining, and UV damage well beyond standard gel coat.
