   This week we completed the installation and calibration of the drowning detection system in the new Tinnerbäcksbadet in Linköping, Sweden.

   The drowning detection system is installed in the 50-meter pool, where the pool is monitored by cameras on the ceiling for the best overview of the pool, as well as in the diving pool, which is significantly deeper and is therefore monitored by cameras on the pool wall.

   Tinnerbäcksbadet is Sweden’s largest swimming pool and one of the absolute finest. The large wooden beams, wooden panels and entire walls with plants provide an inviting and harmonious environment in the large premises.

   Tinnerbäcksbadet will be inaugurated on April 22nd and we are incredibly proud to be part of this project and to be able to contribute to a enhaced safety.

   In 2007, the Nordlandsbadet water park in Bodø became the first Norwegian site to install a computer vision system to detect a potential drowning in all its pools, including a wave pool and a diving tank. The new 25-meter pool, which is scheduled to open to the public in 2023, will also be equipped with the Poseidon drowning detection system: 16 detectors will be installed in the ceiling to provide an optimal aerial monitoring.

   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.
