A young girl has become the first swimmer in the U.K. saved from drowning by a computerized pool-monitoring system.
The accident happened on Aug. 24 when a 10-year-old girl in a swimming pool in Bangor, North Wales, sank to the bottom of the deep end. A Poseidon monitoring system installed in the pool registered that a swimmer was in distress because she was at the bottom of the pool and not moving, and within three seconds sounded the alarm to the lifeguard on duty who pulled the girl out of the water.
This is seriously amazing.. I’m impressed. It’s incredible how fast she was pulled out of the pool. Check out the full posting at Cnet.
