At Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre (BAWC), safety remains our highest priority. We are pleased to introduce Lynxight, an AI-powered drowning prevention technology that adds an extra layer of safety to support our lifeguards and help keep our community safer in and around the water.
The Lynxight system uses surveillance through cameras, supported by artificial intelligence, to provide real-time monitoring, risk detection, and instant alerts across our 50m pool, Leisure Pool, and Warm Water Pool, enabling lifeguards to respond faster to potential emergencies. This technology also uses AI to interpret data and continuously improve through algorithm training.
As part of the system, lifeguards are equipped with smartwatches linked to Lynxight’s alert platform, providing immediate notifications in critical situations. Lynxight is already in use at more than 75 pools across Australia and works alongside initiatives such as the Royal Life Saving Australia collaboration to strengthen drowning prevention efforts. While this technology enhances our operations, it does not replace our existing safety practices, with BAWC continuing to meet the high standards of Life Saving Victoria’s Platinum Pool Program.
As part of this initiative, Brimbank City Council uses surveillance to enhance safety, improve operational response, and support staff in preventing incidents.
Information collected through this system may be disclosed to relevant authorities, regulatory bodies, or service providers where required for safety, operational, or legal purposes.
Individuals have the right to request access to their personal information collected through surveillance, noting that data is only retained for a limited period. For more information, please contact Brimbank Aquatic & Wellness Centre or scan the QR code below.
