As swimming pools have gained popularity, the challenges of ensuring safety, comfort, and leisure for individuals while upholding hygiene and conserving resources have become more pronounced. This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart swimming pool system that is capable of detecting drowning and automating pool management. Drowning represents a significant and often unexpected cause of death globally, affecting both children and adults. Even with preventive measures such as lifeguards, safety jackets, and surveillance cameras, tens of thousands of lives are lost every year in drowning incidents in swimming pools. Further, the waste individuals produce in swimming pools elevates the concentrations of organic and mineral contaminants. Consequently, the application of disinfectants in swimming pools is essential for mitigating the transmission of these diseases. Nevertheless, incorrect application of these chemicals can result in numerous health complications, and corrosion and scaling of associated equipment. At the same time, there is a need for maintaining the water temperature within the prescribed limit to extend the pool usage throughout the year. This necessitates an automatic water quality monitoring system, which can lead to sustainable practices in conserving water, while ensuring life security and safe water to users.
Swimming pools are widely recognized as an imperative part of public infrastructures, having many therapeutic, recreational, and health benefits (Royal Life Saving, 2025). They are commonly used for leisure, aerobic exercises, rehabilitation therapies, and competitive sports by people from all age groups and walks of life.
