Guidance for Swimming Pool Safety in Non-Lifeguarded Facilities
Back in June 2025, a major milestone in swimming pool safety was reached with the launch of the Guidance for Managing Safety in Non-Lifeguarded Swimming Pools. Developed by RLSS UK, CIMSPA, Swim England, and ukactive, this guidance supports operators in managing risk and improving safety standards in facilities without lifeguards.
With the number of non-lifeguarded pools increasing - and technology playing a growing role in poolside supervision - this guidance couldn’t be more timely.

The guidance offers practical, evidence-based recommendations tailored to today’s operational realities. One key recommendation is the use of Automated Monitoring and Detection systems, which can dramatically improve response times and add an essential layer of protection.
“Operators of non-lifeguarded pools should consider implementing an Automated Monitoring and Detection system to increase the speed by which persons in danger are detected and provide an additional layer of protection.” - June 2025 Guidance
At Poolview, we’ve worked with many non-lifeguarded pools to implement systems that align with their specific operational needs - whether that’s basic CCTV, above-water detection, below-water monitoring, or wireless alarm solutions. Every pool is different, and we pride ourselves on designing and installing bespoke systems that meet both the guidance requirements and the practical realities of each site.
With the skills, experience, and infrastructure to deliver end-to-end solutions, we’re here to help operators navigate this shift with confidence.
