Holmes Place is expanding its use of a drowning prevention system developed by AI experts from Rafael. This system offers real-time identification and alerts for safety risks and swimmer distress directly to the lifeguard's smartwatch.

The unique system, created by the Israeli company Lynxight, provides lifeguards with a "bird's-eye view" and unique insights into pool activities to enhance the swimming experience. At any given moment, the system analyzes the number of swimmers and different activities in the pool, transmitting real-time and ongoing data through a dedicated app. This ensures that swimmers in Holmes Place pools receive comprehensive protection through the life-saving monitoring system.

The special drowning prevention system has been installed in the pools of the following clubs: Holmes Place Modiin, Rosh HaAyin, Givat Shmuel, Haifa, Ashdod, Kfar Saba, Lod (Avivim), and the Go Active club in Kiryat Ono.

Founded in 2019 by Omer Bar-Ilan and Eyal Amit, Lynxight operates this revolutionary service in leading fitness chains, hotels, and prominent municipal and community organizations across Europe, the USA, Australia, and Israel.
