The 50-meter pool at Marignac will be equipped with a Poseidon drowning detection system. The Marignac pool has been open to the public since 1969 and is a listed historic monument. It welcomes a large public, from families to experienced athletes. The heated outdoor pool is open year-round. The installation will be completed in the spring of 2022.
On November 23, 2021, the international laboratory SGS inspected the conformity of the Poseidon system recently installed at the Marche-en-Famenne swimming pool in Belgium. 7 pairs of cameras installed on the ceiling allow optimal observation of the 25 x 15 meter pool with a depth of 1.25 to 2.55 meters.
The inspection consisted of checking the conformity of the Poseidon system with the safety and performance requirements set out in the EN ISO 20380 standard. The report No. AX21-07764.001 drawn up by the SGS laboratory certifies that the computer vision system for drowning detection at Marche-en-Famenne meets all the requirements of the standard.
It should be noted that the detection performance observed at the time of the test was considerably above the requirements of the standard! Marche-en-Famenne is the 50th pool in the Benelux equipped with a Poseidon system.
