Automated Pool System Saves Swimmer

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the watchful-eyes-for-something-besides-privacy-invasion dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An automated swimmer tracking system installed in a pool in Wales has saved a young girl who just collapsed and sank to the bottom, by paging lifeguards when it could not detect her moving." This is the first time a UK swimmer has been saved by the £65,000 Poseidon system since it was installed in March of 2003.
