Did Roman Baths slope like modern pools? That is, did they tend to have “deep” and “shallow” ends?

They were not typically designed like this. Instead they were more like a large, rectangular, area that was about chest-high with steps leading in. Similar to a modern pool, but there were definitely a few differences.

Interesting. Thanks for the answer. Was swimming earlier when the question popped into my head and I realized I didn’t know if they were just large baths or used more like modern pools.
