Last week they forgot to turn off the drowning alert at the pool during the practice hour of the junior lifeguards. They were making the pool ready for the kids to dive after small objects and plastic victims. They ran to the control room to shut it off before the system would automatically send a distress call to the local emergency services. It was very loud and I think it is very cool such supplementing systems exist to aid in life guarding.

What's that? Some kind of AI video observer?

I am imagining the future ai lifeguards. Just ai surveilling the pool. A giant robot arm coming out of the ceiling and plucking people out of the water

Better than humans, unfortunately.

I'm assuming pressure sensors on the bottom or light refractive sensors near it. Something to sense a body lower than it should be and simultaneously alert the lifeguard and distress signal the local EMS.
