Spa with armrests

Abstract

A portable spa having seats molded into its interior provides armrests for each seat that are unobtrusively molded into the sides of the spa. The armrests, two for each seat, are located with respect to the seat so that the spa user can comfortably rest both arms in an outstretched manner while still keeping them mostly under water.
