After an extended period of dedicated development, we are finally ready to launch SwimEye Version 5. This major upgrade marks a significant milestone in our mission to support lifeguards and enhance swimming pool safety worldwide.

"SwimEye is the best possible assistant I can get»

“SwimEye has been an extremely valuable tool for our lifeguards.”

SwimEye has recently completed the installation of our advanced drowning detection system at the brand-new swimming facility at Kirkebygden School.

The Stavanger Svømmehall is where it all began for SwimEye. Our first system was installed here in 2005. It has been a big part of our success story and a proving ground for our computer vision detection system.

Drowning detection has been installed in the deep end of this 25m swimming pool, providing lifeguards with extra support in the most challenging part of their pool. SwimEye is perfect for supervision of inflatable play structures and other water play elements, where it is quite simple for a swimmer to become trapped underwater.

Sundhöllin is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland, with a history that dates back to 1937. The facility underwent a major renovation and they installed SwimEye in the old swimming pool, for the facilities’ reopening. After just three months in operation at Sundhöllin, a second SwimEye system has been installed for their shallow water pool.

Gamlingen is a busy leisure centre in the heart of Stavanger, our home town. SwimEye drowning detection is installed in a 25m swimming pool and also provides monitoring to a long access ramp. We have also installed CCTV at this facility, providing security vision of a smaller children’s pool.

SwimEye has been installed in the swimming pool at the Haukeland Children’s Hospital.

SwimEye has been installed in three swimming pools at the Sauda svømmehall, this includes a 25m indoor pool, a 16m outdoor pool and a 9m diameter outdoor diving pool.

SwimEye proudly marks its 20th anniversary this year, reflecting on a journey that began with a powerful and personal moment — a vivid dream in which of our founders saw his daughter drowning. That experience became the catalyst for a mission to make swimming pools safer through advanced technology.

To further improve the accuracy of its drowning detection technology, SwimEye conducted advanced simulations in Stavanger Swimming Hall before Christmas. The goal was to better understand the subtle and often silent movement patterns that occur when a person is in distress — and to train the system to recognize these critical signals.

As the year comes to a close, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all our customers, partners, and industry colleagues. Thank you for your trust, collaboration, and support throughout the year.

When winter arrives, ceiling-mounted cameras over outdoor pools often experience condensation issues. This can lead to blurry images and reduced functionality—especially when reliable monitoring is critical.

This October, SwimEye will be attending Aquanale in Cologne 28-29 Oct – one of Europe’s most important industry events for swimming pools, spas, and wellness facilities.

SwimEye recently visited Reykjavik to connect with both existing and potential customers. Iceland boasts an impressive density of public swimming pools, and safety is a top priority.

SwimEye provides camera surveillance for aquatic facilities – including automatic drowning detection, CCTV, and electronic alert systems.

SwimEye is proud to be an active participant in ISO/TC 83/WG 11, a working group under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

SwimEye has proudly sponsored Marte Willumsen for several years, as she continues to be part of Norway’s swimming elite.

Oral Sjøflot returns to SwimEye as Chief Technology Officer. He is one of the company’s co-founders and now joins from Quorum Software, where he has worked internationally for several years.
