Assisted Lifeguard Technology to Enhance Swimming Pool Safety

For over thirty years, RLSS UK has been at the forefront of supporting pool operators with qualifications, guidance, consultancy, and expert training to meet evolving water safety challenges. Embracing AI lifeguard technology to enhance pool safety and support lifeguards and pool operators, RLSS UK and Lynxight, with GLL’s expertise and support during a rigorous testing period, has introduced an innovative and affordable new risk management solution for swimming pools.  

Why install Lynxight Assisted Lifeguard Technology (ALT)? 

Affordable, intelligent, simple solution that allows you to make your pool safer

  • It's an affordable solution that allows more UK pool operators to benefit from technology. Installation is quick and very cost-effective.
  • It uses standard overhead security cameras and does not require underwater cameras.
  • It’s unaffected by glare, reflection, or turbidity.
  • It's installable without closing and draining the pool, damaging pool tiles, or investing in costly waterproofing; there is no downtime, no loss of revenue, and no impact on the public.
  • It offers easy maintenance, minimal impact on pool buildings, and low visibility for pool users. 

Increases swimming pool safety 

  • It complements the highly skilled work of lifeguards and provides another layer of safety for pool users.
  • It provides a complete real-time understanding of what is happening above and below the water using Artificial Intelligence (AI) software and swimmer behaviour analysis.
  • It continuously monitors pool users and promptly alerts lifeguards via smartwatches about anyone needing assistance.
  • It supports lifeguards in quickly assessing situations and reacting appropriately.
  • It prevents potential incidents. 

Effective data collection for your pool operations

  • Currently, Lynxight is the only system available in the UK providing pool data via dashboards to optimise swimming pool operations, including pool usage, swimmer numbers, and detailed data for each lane or pool area. 
  • It identifies new opportunities to generate revenue from activities in under-utilised spaces.
