ALT Guidance Update

It was encouraging to see around 300 leisure professionals on line last week for the Assisted Lifeguard Technology Guidance Webinar presented by the RLSS UK

The industry guidance from CIMSPA, RLSS UK, Swim England, and UK Active was first published in January 2023 and had undergone a review, which considered the technological advances and the experience of those currently using technology in their swimming pools.

I thought it would be prudent to first congratulate members of the Guidance Working Group for their excellent work and I must say I felt a certain sense of pride of how much progress has been made since I managed to pull everyone together in November 2018 to kickstart the need for this guidance.

So here we are over five years later with guidance that actually keeps pace with the times!

Now is a good time for me to remind operators about the attributes and the uniqueness of our Poolview Plus Submersion Detection System

Poolview is the only system on the market that truly works alongside the Lifeguard in the symbiotic relationship of “Blended Lifeguarding”.

We have a pro-active rather than a reactive system, where we take the Lifeguard through a series of alerts which highlights to them swimmers who may be about to be in danger.


Lifeguards are given Additional Essential Vision, whereby ONE Lifeguard can have eyes on 100% of the pool water volume.

Lifeguards include the monitor view as part of their natural 20 scan.

Lifeguards react to developing situations via two “ look at me” alerts, which they can acknowledge or react to.

Lifeguards can see what is happening BEFORE a casualty reaches the bottom and becomes motionless!

Lifeguards are alerted of a possible incident when a body has been submerged below a certain depth for 10 seconds.

Lifeguards can recover a casualty 20 seconds sooner than many other Assisted Lifeguard Technologies.
