Artificial intelligence is supposed to save people from drowning - at least indirectly. As support for lifeguards, cameras can monitor a swimming pool and detect eye-catching motion patterns. So, for example, if someone stays under water with his head, moves atypically or seems motionless.
Hamburg wants to make its indoor pools safer: By the end of 2027, AI in all 20 baths should help to quickly identify critical situations in the water. The cause of the expansion was the death of a five-year-old.
Hamburg – The urban swimming pools in Hamburg are installing a system with artificial intelligence (AI) to detect drowning at an early stage. By the end of 2027, all 20 public indoor pools in the Hanseatic city should be equipped with this, as the operator Badeland announced. Cameras therefore monitor the swimming pool and an AI pool.
The company invests extensively in water supervision. Hamburg is thus a national pioneer among the major cities.
Artificial intelligence (AI) will be used in all indoor pools of Badeland in Hamburg from the beginning of next year. The technology has been in use in Bergedorf's Billebad since the beginning of 2025. It is intended to help save drowning people.
