The Linear with Cover
Contemporary Design. High waterline.
The Linear with Cover is a rectangular fiberglass pool available in six lengths from 20 to 36 feet, all at a uniform 10-foot-9-inch width. It has a flat bottom (no deep end), a high-waterline design, dual hidden skimmers, and a built-in recessed area at one end that houses an automatic pool cover as part of the shell.

Is This the Right Pool for You?
The Linear with Cover makes sense when you want a pool that’s covered by default every time you’re not using it — not as an add-on safety feature, but as an integral part of the design. The auto cover lives in a recessed housing built into the shell itself, which means it’s always there and always engaged with one switch.
The flat bottom and 4-foot-11-inch uniform depth are a deliberate choice. A flat floor lets the auto cover track cleanly across the whole pool, keeps the water volume consistent for cover performance, and gives the entire pool surface the same safe standing depth — useful for exercise lanes, water aerobics, and families with younger swimmers. For Johnson County homeowners in Shawnee, Lenexa, Leawood, or anywhere across the Kansas City metro where evaporation, debris, and safety covers are year-round concerns, the built-in cover is the reason to choose this model.
Feature Details
The submerged top bench is a seating ledge tucked just below the waterline along the length of the pool. Swimmers can sit at shoulder depth along the side without climbing out, and because it sits under the waterline it doesn’t break up the visible profile of the pool.
The unique high water line means the coping sits nearly flush with the water surface rather than six to twelve inches above it. Visually, the water reads as level with the deck — a modern look — and it also lets the auto cover sit cleanly at water level when closed.
Dual weir hidden skimmers: the two water intakes are tucked along the waterline rather than protruding from the pool wall, so you don’t see them from the deck. Two skimmers instead of one gives you better surface cleaning in a rectangular pool where debris tends to collect along the long sides.
The flat bottom means the pool is 4 feet 11 inches deep across the entire length — no shallow-to-deep transition. That enables the built-in cover to roll cleanly and gives you one consistent depth for exercise, aqua therapy, or younger swimmers.
The built-in area for the auto cover is a recessed housing molded into one end of the shell. The cover lives inside the housing when open and rolls out across the pool when closed, with no separate box on the deck and no above-ground hardware visible when the cover is stowed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many sizes does The Linear with Cover come in?
- Six sizes, ranging from 20 feet (the Linear™ with Cover 20 at 19’9″ long) up to 36 feet (the Linear™ with Cover 36 at 36’2″ long). All six share the same 10’9″ width and 4’11” flat-bottom depth — only the length changes. That’s the broadest size lineup in the Leisure Pools catalog.
- Why does The Linear have a flat bottom instead of a deep end?
- The flat bottom is a design requirement of the built-in auto cover system. An auto cover needs a consistent water level and a predictable track path to roll cleanly, which a deep-end slope would disrupt. The 4’11” depth across the full pool is shallow enough to stand but deep enough for swimming, water aerobics, and lap exercise.
- How does the built-in auto cover work?
- The cover itself is stored inside a recessed housing molded into one end of the pool shell. When open, the cover is hidden inside the housing; when closed, it rolls out on tracks along the coping to cover the entire water surface. Operating the cover is typically a key switch or a wireless remote.
- Is The Linear with Cover a good fit for families with young children in Johnson County?
- Yes — the built-in auto cover is one of the stronger safety features available on a fiberglass pool, and the flat 4’11” bottom means there’s no sudden depth drop for less confident swimmers. For families in Olathe, Overland Park, or Lenexa where kids, dogs, and pool debris are year-round realities, the cover pays for itself in safety, heating, and chemical savings.
