The seat portion includes a substantially unitary molded frame defining a first opening and a cavity associated with the first opening. The seat portion further includes a first substantially non-absorbent, water-permeable membrane configured to cover at least a portion of the first opening to provide support to the seated person. The substantially unitary molded frame comprises at least a second opening configured to enable water passing through the first substantially non-absorbent, water-permeable membrane and into the cavity to be discharged from the cavity. The disclosed seat further includes a back portion coupled to the seat portion. The back portion includes a peripheral frame member defining a third opening at least a portion of which is covered with a second substantially non-absorbent, water-permeable membrane.
