Abstract
A device and method of determining proper positioning of lifeguard stations at a swimming pool to minimize the risk of bather drowning. The method includes: positioning submersible devices or other objects at the bottom of a swimming pool according to an established grid or pattern; imaging the devices from different locations and different heights at the same locations; analyzing the images to determine the position and height of the locations which provide the best sightlines of the swimming pool from the surface of the water to the bottom of the pool shell; and positioning the lifeguard stations at the position and height of the locations determined by analyzing the images.
