Poseidon: The benchmark for computer-aided drowning detection systems (http://www.poseidon-tech.com/us/system.html)

ok, I know that in reality this makes alot of sense but at first it sounds like the proverbial "screen door on a submarine"

I mean, the computerised telephone answering systems that all companies have now haven't sped up how fast a human talks to you when you have a question have they?

I'm a bit concerned that we will now have lifeguards staring into the monitor....watching...watching.....

sir! we have a sinker in sector 8
bring us around
parascope UP

but, hopefully it'll be a great tool

I forsee alot of underwater mooning going on and possibly an underwater girls gone wild video

so, waterproof webcams are super high tech?

That would have to be some bad ass technology to detect a "drowner".

Even a shark would see the graceful swimmer and the struggler as a helpless entrée.

the great news is that now the lifeguard can sit in his air-conditioned hut dividing his time between the monitor and "one life to live".
