Follow the full path from camera observation to notification, staff assessment, and review.  On this page [The approach](#pool-answer)[Alert path](#pool-alert-path)[Evaluation checklist](#pool-evaluation)[Camera coverage](#pool-cameras)[Deployment evidence](#pool-deployment) ## From alert to response SAFE SWIM reviews configured pool views for signs of possible distress and sends the zone and relevant view to trained staff. A lifeguard assesses the situation and follows the facility's response procedure; the review keeps the alert and staff action connected. 01 · Follow the response ## Make the alert path visible end to end - Possible distress is detected. The system surfaces the affected zone and camera view. - The notification is delivered. The site's configured alarm path reaches the assigned trained staff. - Staff acknowledge and assess. A lifeguard checks the pool and follows the facility's emergency procedure. - The response is recorded. Keep detection, delivery, acknowledgement, response timestamps, and the supporting view for review. Test the full path under the facility's approved drill procedure. A fast model result has no operational value if the alert cannot reach the person responsible for the pool. 02 · Evaluate the system ## Evaluate the whole safety workflow ### Pool coverage - Zone map and excluded areas - Glare, crowding, and occlusion conditions - Above-water and underwater visibility needs ### Detection and alerts - Reviewed events and observation hours - Missed events and false alerts reported separately - Delivery, acknowledgement, and escalation records ### Operations - Camera and network failure procedures - Staff training and safe drills - Access controls and retention policy Ask for results on the intended pool and operating conditions. Do not treat a single staged event, a vendor-wide number, or an installation announcement as proof of performance at every site. 03 · Check the view ## Confirm the view for this pool Do not assume that an existing camera is suitable. A deployment review must confirm the pool geometry, blind spots, glare, reflections, depth, crowding, frame rate, network reliability, and the view needed for the agreed detection task. SAFE SWIM scopes the camera and notification design for the pool rather than promising compatibility from a camera model alone. For broader safety planning, the [CDC's drowning-prevention guidance](https://www.cdc.gov/drowning/prevention/index.html) emphasizes supervision and layered prevention, while [RLSS UK's pool-technology guidance](https://www.rlss.org.uk/technology-in-swimming-pools) covers site suitability, fallback procedures, and staff training. 04 · Verify real deployment evidence ## A documented installation Okinawa Kariyushi Resort EXES Onna announced its SAFE SWIM installation on August 8, 2025. The hotel's announcement describes alerts to monitoring staff and identifies Fortune AI as the developer. Treat the announcement as evidence of installation—not an independent accuracy study or a universal performance result.
