- a single beam coupling the first and second side pedestals to one another;
- a first lock positioned adjacent the first side pedestal;
- a second lock positioned adjacent the second side pedestal;
- and
- a seating assembly slidably supported on the single beam and configured to slide along the single beam between a first position adjacent the first side pedestal and a second position adjacent the second side pedestal, the seating assembly including:
- a first mating feature configured to lockingly engage the first lock to selectively lock the seating assembly in the first position;

- a second side pedestal configured to be positioned inside of the bathing area and coupled to the second end of the beam;
- a first lock positioned adjacent the first side pedestal;
- a second lock positioned adjacent the second side pedestal;
- and
- a seating assembly slidably supported on the beam and including:
- a chassis defining a channel therethrough, the chassis surrounding the single beam such that the beam extends through the channel, the chassis being configured to slide between the first and second ends of the beam;
- a seat rotatably supported on the chassis and configured to slide with the chassis along and relative to the beam;
- a first mating feature configured to lockingly engage the first lock when the chassis is positioned at the first end of the beam to resist axial motion of the chassis away from the first end of the beam;
- and
- a second mating feature configured to lockingly engage the second lock when the chassis is positioned at the second end of the beam to resist axial motion of the chassis away from the second end of the beam.
