Abstract

A bathing system includes an elongate tub with a first and second end, a circumferential sidewall extending from the rim to the bottom, and opposing first and second walls. Channels are formed in each wall near the rim. The system includes a convertible sling made of flexible material with three panels. The first and second panels are joined together and secured to the tub rim, while the third panel has leg holes and is attached to the second panel. A bar at the end of the third panel connects to the channels in the tub walls. In a first configuration, the sling cradles an occupant of the tub with the first panel facing upward. In a second configuration, the occupant's legs extend through the leg holes, and the second panel rests on the tub floor, supporting the occupant in a seated position.
