Since its introduction on the market in 2000, the Poseidon System has triggered alerts resulting from real accidents and helped lifeguards detect and rescue 9 drowning victims all over Europe. (Netherlands, France, United-Kingdom,
Belgium, Germany,…)
All these incidents happened in public swimming pools staffed with professional lifeguards and demonstrate the difficult task lifeguards are facing. It is almost impossible to maintain a constant vigilance and no human being can see everything all the time but it only takes a few seconds for someone to get into trouble and start to drown.
