Abstract:
1. A swimming pool safety system comprising: a preservation mechanism having a pool bottom platform having a shape that matches at least a part of a bottom of a swimming pool and lifts a human-sized object from within a designated area of the swimming pool to above a top surface of the swimming pool, the preservation mechanism includes a lifting mechanism connected to the pool bottom platform via a vertical structure; an underwater detection array having a plurality of sensors disposed under water and configured to detect the human-sized object within the swimming pool and generate detection data when the human-sized object is detected; and a preservation controller that includes a processing circuit configured to actuate the preservation mechanism in response to an actuation signal automatically generated based on the detection data so as to actuate the preservation mechanism and lift the human-sized object above the top surface of the swimming pool, a trigger time and ascension rate of the pool bottom platform corresponding to a detected size of the human-sized object.
