FAQ ## Drowning detection for your pool. Clear answers on cameras, real-time alerts, validation, privacy, and cost. [Discuss your pool](https://www.fortuneai.app/book/?industry=Aquatic%20safety)[General questions & other industries](https://www.fortuneai.app/faq/#industry-aquatics)[Installation, pricing & support FAQ](https://www.fortuneai.app/faq/#implementation-and-support) System and cameras ### What does SAFE SWIM do for pool safety? SAFE SWIM is Fortune AI's AI drowning detection system. Connect pool safety monitoring, zone-specific lifeguard alerts and response evidence, then review response time and daily pool operations. What to review Review detection, delivered notification, acknowledgement, and response as separate events. ### How does the drowning detection system connect lifeguard alerts and response? Send the affected zone and camera evidence to the responsible lifeguard for immediate assessment. Review alert delivery, response time, pool usage and team follow-up. What to review Bring the pool layout, camera models, installation positions, and representative daytime and evening footage. ### Can drowning detection replace lifeguards? No. SAFE SWIM supports trained staff; it does not replace lifeguards or active supervision, and it does not replace the facility's emergency procedures. Evaluate the complete alert path, missed events, false alerts, and outages before operational use. Drills must be designed and supervised by qualified staff; never put a swimmer in danger to test a system. What to review Recorded test conditions, reviewed outcomes, alert latency, and a documented fallback procedure. Alerts and response ### How does SAFE SWIM alert lifeguards in real time? When SAFE SWIM detects possible distress, it sends the assigned staff the pool location and camera view through the site's configured warning lights or messaging channels. The lifeguard assesses the situation and follows the facility's emergency procedure; the system is not limited to reviewing footage after an incident. Rehearse the agreed alert path with qualified staff before opening. Record detection, delivery, acknowledgement and response separately. [SAFE SWIM camera and alert specifications (Chinese)](https://www.safeswim.io/tech) ### What happens if a camera or network connection goes offline? If a camera or network connection fails, the facility keeps normal supervision and emergency procedures in place and follows its documented manual-monitoring fallback. Define who receives the outage notice, how recovery is checked, and who approves a return to operation; lifeguard coverage must not depend on system availability. Validation and privacy ### How do we validate pool coverage under glare, crowding, and occlusion? Map every monitored and excluded pool zone, then review each camera under representative daytime, evening, glare, crowded, occluded, and changing-water conditions. Document blind spots instead of assuming full coverage, and decide before opening whether the site needs another camera or a different mounting position. What to review A zone map and exclusions tested under glare, crowding, and occlusion. ### How do we measure missed detections and false alerts? Qualified staff should define safe test conditions and acceptance criteria, then record reviewed events, operating conditions, outcomes, and observation hours. Report missed detections and false alerts separately, include incomplete evidence, and never place a swimmer at risk in order to test the system. What to review Reviewed event counts, conditions, outcomes, and observation hours. Report missed events and false alerts separately. ### How are pool-video access and retention managed? Before deployment, the facility and Fortune AI agree on who can access footage, the permitted purpose, retention period, deletion process, and how an incident review may be shared. Limit access to authorized staff and necessary footage, following the facility's policy and applicable local privacy requirements. Cost and planning ### How much does a drowning detection system cost for our pool? Receive an itemized scope covering pool zones, cameras, alert equipment, installation, software, staff training and support. Agree upfront and recurring costs, acceptance checks, responsibilities and the support contact for the same coverage and response workflow. Share your pool layout, camera details, opening hours, and alert recipients for a site-specific quote. [Discuss a pool deployment](https://www.fortuneai.app/book/?industry=Aquatic%20safety) ### Which water-safety resources should inform our deployment? CDC emphasizes continuous supervision of children. RLSS UK's technology guidance covers site suitability, visibility, fallback procedures, and staff training. - [CDC: Preventing Drowning](https://www.cdc.gov/drowning/prevention/index.html) - [RLSS UK: Technology in Swimming Pools](https://www.rlss.org.uk/technology-in-swimming-pools) - [SAFE SWIM: beyond AI accuracy](https://www.fortuneai.app/blog/safe-swim-ai-video-analytics-water-safety/) Daily use and review ### How do we keep daily system checks from becoming extra work without a clear purpose? Agree on the opening checklist, camera and alert checks, responsible staff and escalation route as part of deployment. SAFE SWIM training follows the facility's actual emergency procedure. Review the time required for routine checks and the results with the aquatic lead, alongside the response path and accepted pool coverage. ### How should we evaluate false alerts and different pool activities? Use representative pool conditions and planned activities in the site validation. Record reviewed alerts, missed test events, notification delivery and staff acknowledgement separately, with the test conditions attached. The aquatic lead agrees on acceptance and review procedures; qualified lifeguards continue active supervision and respond through the emergency plan. Fortune AI ## Bring one operating question.
