NOT A SUPERHERO?
WAVE GETS YOU CLOSER TO BEING ONE.
Even though you are highly vigilant and responsible when watching over the welfare of those in water, the risk of drowning is always present.
Drowning happens quietly, takes just seconds, and even a minor distraction can prevent you from seeing it in time.
Easy to use, WAVE provides you with a powerful tool to enhance your efforts to keep your swimmers safe.
"IT'S LIKE HAVING A DEPUTY LIFEGUARD LETTING US KNOW WHEN SOMEONE'S UNDER TOO LONG"
– DAVID MCCLANATHAN | LIFEGUARD | HAGERSTOWN YMCA
WHAT DOES WAVE DO?
IT HAS YOUR BACK
* Maximum submersion time determined by your facility.
WAVE works in the background while you watch over your swimmers. Other than wearing a bracelet, nothing you do changes.
The system uses lightweight wearables to monitor swimmers in real time and accurately determines how long each swimmer's face is fully submerged.
If a swimmer has been under too long* WAVE immediately notifies you by vibrating your Staff Bracelet first. If the swimmer does not resurface for a preset time, WAVE issues a facility-wide public warning.
With WAVE, a missed event is addressed well before it has time to escalate into an emergency.
YOU GET THE HELP YOU NEED.
WITH L.E.A.
With WAVE's Lifeguard Entry Alerts (LEA) your facility will be alerted any time you enter the water so you can get immediate assistance if needed.
All that's needed is a tiny lightweight tag you wear or attach to your equipment.
IT NOT ONLY PROTECTS SWIMMERS
IT PROTECTS YOU TOO
Being involved in a drowning event can forever impact a guard's life psychologically and sometimes even financially.
WAVE provides you with precious seconds to investigate if a swimmer has been submerged too long without your knowledge. It enables you take action if necessary before the event can escalate.
Those few seconds can be the difference between a typical day at work or a terrible memory.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
SIMPLE: WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE.
You watch over your swimmers as you normally do while wearing a Staff Bracelet. The Bracelets are comfortable, adjustable and waterproof.
If the Bracelet vibrates immediately investigate your scan area and intervene if necessary.
Otherwise for WAVE to be effective it will be important for you to make sure that all of your swimmers wear their Trackers or Goggle Clips*.​
* Exclusions may exist for swimmers with special needs or unique circumstances that prevents wearing a Tracker or Goggle Clips. Discuss these situations with your aquatic director to determine a best course of action.
"GUARDS ENOY IT BECAUSE IT KEEPS THEM ON THEIR TOES."
