1 . A sunshaded swing seat comprising: a. a suspension frame including a main horizontal beam, and a pair of extension members mounted to the main horizontal beam, wherein the pair of extension members forms four tips; b. tension supports extending downwardly from the four tips, wherein each tension support extends downwardly from each tip; c. a swing seat having a rigid swing seat rim, wherein the swing seat has a fabric seat body attached to the swing seat rim and forming a seat hollow; d. a shade having an upper panel mounted over the swing seat; e. a light system, wherein the light system further includes an upper light and a lower light, wherein the lower light is mounted on an underside of the seat hollow; and f. a water system, wherein the water system further includes a main water line, a water line panel connector connecting to the main water line, wherein the water line panel connector connects to a side panel water line, wherein the side panel water line connects to a side panel lower edge water line, wherein the side panel lower edge water line is configured to receive a plurality of spray heads. 2 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 1 , wherein the shade further comprises a shade left side panel and a shade right side panel, wherein the shade further includes a shade panel light mounted to the upper panel; and wherein the plurality of spray heads comprises a front lower mist spray head, a rear lower mist spray head, a front upper mist spray head, and a rear upper mist spray head. 3 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 2 , further including a front water line, wherein the front water line receives a front right mist spray head, a front middle mist spray head and a front left mist spray head, wherein the front water line is connected to the main water line at the front water line connector, wherein the front water line connector is mounted above the swing seat. 4 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 2 , wherein the shade left side panel has a shade left arc on its lower edge and wherein the shade right side panel has a shade right arc on its lower edge. 5 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 4 , wherein the shade left arc terminates at a shade left side panel front tip, and wherein the shade right arc terminates at a shade right side panel front tip. 6 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 5 , wherein the shade left side panel front tip is connected to one of the tension supports by a left front lower strap, and wherein the shade right side panel front tip is connected to one of the tension supports by a right front lower strap. 7 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 6 , wherein the shade upper panel forms a shade left bend at an angle less than 90° when a left front upper strap connects the shade left side panel to one of the tension supports; and wherein the shade upper panel forms a shade right bend at an angle less than 90° when a right front upper strap connects the shade right side panel to one of the tension supports. 8 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 1 , wherein the tension supports are made of chain linkage and connected to the pair of extension members via extension member connectors, wherein the tension supports are connected to the extension member connector using a snap hook. 9 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 8 , wherein the tension supports are made of a chain linkage which is at least partially enclosed by support sheathing. 10 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 1 , wherein the pair of extension members are formed as shade panel flexible members. 11 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 10 , wherein the shade further comprises a shade left side panel and a shade right side panel. 12 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 11 , wherein the shade left side panel has a shade left arc on its lower edge and wherein the shade right side panel has a shade right arc on its lower edge. 13 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 12 , wherein the shade left arc terminates at a shade left side panel front tip, and wherein the shade right arc terminates at a shade right side panel front tip. 14 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 13 , wherein the shade left side panel front tip is connected to one of the tension supports by a left front lower strap, and wherein the shade right side panel front tip is connected to one of the tension supports by a right front lower strap. 15 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 14 , wherein the shade upper panel forms a shade left bend at an angle less than 90° when a left front upper strap connects the shade left side panel to one of the tension supports; and wherein the shade upper panel forms a shade right bend at an angle less than 90° when a right front upper strap connects the shade right side panel to one of the tension supports. 16 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 10 , wherein the tension supports are made of chain linkage and connected to an extension member via an extension member connector, wherein the tension supports are connected to the extension member connector using a snap hook. 17 . The sunshaded swing seat of claim 10 , wherein the chain linkage is at least partially enclosed by support sheathing.
