What is WAVE Drowning Detection Systems?

WAVE is a Drowning Detection System (DDS) that’s portable, accurate and easy to use.  The basic premise behind the system is simple.  WAVE helps to alert lifeguards or other nearby individuals when a swimmer appears to be at risk of drowning. 

How does WAVE work?

While swimming in a pool, whether at home or in public, swimmers wear ultra-lightweight headband-like devices placed at the back of the head.  These devices communicate with a hub, which also communicates with wristband devices worn by lifeguards or other nearby supervision.


When the swimmer is detected as having their face under water for too long, the main device and devices worn by guards are alerted.  This signals to lifeguards and other people in the area that someone is in danger of drowning!


This system is ideal for public swimming locations, such as pools, country clubs or other public places because hundreds of devices can be linked to a WAVE hub at any one time.


Arthur Benjamin, Palm Beach philanthropist firmly believes in the life-saving potential of WAVE.  Through his nonprofit, Action to End Drowning, he hopes to highlight the importance of noticing the signs of drowning, an often overlooked silent killer.
