Is she on her way to a wheelchair or tied to it?  

More seriously, your looking for a Hoyer style device.  They come in manual 
and powered versions, mobile and fixed mounting point.  The seat on these 
things is usually a piece of fabric which folds into a basket-like shape.  
It is important to get a mesh seat if you will be using it in a pool.  You
might also look for one with a removeable, mobile base.  That way you can 
use it in the house, or remove the base, place it in a socket by the pool 
and use it there.
