A method of training a lifeguard to properly view an area of a swimming pool or body of water and recognize a swimmer/bather in distress. The method includes: positioning submersible devices or other objects on a bottom of the swimming pool or body of water according to an established grid or pattern; observing the submersible devices to make observations; analyzing the observations to evaluate the ability to see the submersible devices under varying environmental and density conditions. The observation trains the lifeguard to recognize the swimmer/bather in distress in the swimming pool or body of water to minimize the risk of the swimmer/bather drowning.

Lifeguard positioning system and method

A device and method of determining proper positioning of lifeguard stations at a swimming pool to minimize the risk of bather drowning. The method includes: positioning submersible devices or other objects at the bottom of a swimming pool according to an established grid or pattern; imaging the devices from different locations and different heights at the same locations; analyzing the images to determine the position and height of the locations which provide the best sightlines of the swimming pool from the surface of the water to the bottom of the pool shell; and positioning the lifeguard stations at the position and height of the locations determined by analyzing the images.

Lifeguard positioning system

A submersible device for placement in a swimming pool to facilitate the placement of lifeguard stations around the pool. The device includes a base and movable members. The base has a weighted portion with sufficient weight to cause the device to sink to a bottom of the pool. The movable members extend from the base. The movable members have less weight than the base, thereby allowing the movable members to move and sway as the current of water in the pool changes. The device is used to simulate a submerged swimmer/bather in the pool.

Lifeguard positioning system and submersible devices for use therewith

A method of determining proper positioning of lifeguard stations at a swimming pool or body of water to minimize the risk of bather drowning. The method includes: positioning submersible devices or other objects on a bottom of the swimming pool or body of water according to an established grid or pattern; imaging the submersible devices from different locations and different heights at the same locations; analyzing the images and other data to determine locations and heights of the lifeguard stations which provide the best sightlines of the swimming pool from the surface of the water to the bottom of the swimming pool or body of water; and positioning the lifeguard stations at the locations and the heights determined by analyzing the data.
