Pool Drowning Detection: An Aquatic Manager’s Checklist

Prepare the site information

Give the deployment team a useful picture of the pool’s operations. Include the layout, camera positions, operating schedule and the roles of the staff who will use the system. This connects the proposed technology to a specific operating need.

• Pool layout, dimensions and camera positions.
• Operating hours, lessons and peak periods.
• Current monitoring and response procedures.

Define ownership of every alert

Specify how alerts move through the venue. SAFE SWIM supports visual, audible and software notifications; the deployment plan establishes which channels and recipients fit the facility. Use a demonstration to confirm what staff see and do.

• Name the staff who receive and review alerts.
• Check the location information presented to responders.
• Document the procedure for closing an event.

Evaluate the handover

A complete handover includes system configuration, scenario testing and staff training. Event records then give managers a practical basis for reviewing use and maintaining a consistent response process.

• Review the configured monitoring zones.
• Test alerts and the staff response sequence.
• Plan training, support and record review.
