Personally, I liked the tub-flowers idea. Retro is cool, you know. Heck, put some on the outside, too!

: Thanks for all the suggestions. I was able to find some black non-slip grit
: tape used on skateboard, pool sides, steps, etc. and added some strips to
: the floor as John B. suggested. That looks like it should work pretty
: well, but also have some of the other suggestions to follow if it doesn't.
: The problem isn't getting in, or the type of seat (I have a Creature
: Comfort installed) but getting OUT after paddling when the knees are
: stiffer and I need to get a bit of a grip on the floor to get out quickly.
: This should help a lot - thanks.
