Reaches someone who has gone under
Every float on a pool deck today needs a conscious hand. Aquaris is designed for the person who has slipped below the surface and can no longer reach for one.
Water rescue & retrieval · Final stages of development
Lift anyone.Lift anything.
Aquaris brings a person or an object up out of the water. The rescuer doesn't need strength, nobody has to touch anyone, and no one has to wait.

01The gap
Cameras, alarms and wearables can tell you something has gone wrong. Every one of them then waits for a human being to go into the water.
In an unattended pool at two in the morning, on a beach outside patrolled hours, or below an offshore platform, that person is not there, or should not be asked to go. Drowning is also silent. There is usually no splashing and no call for help.

02Thirty seconds
The whole margin.
Elapsed00.0 s
A scroll animation: a swimmer slips under the surface, whoever is nearest sends Aquaris to them, the device takes the weight, and both return to the surface — the concentric rings of the Aquaris logo around a person, back at the surface.
03Why Aquaris
Six things a ring buoy cannot do.
The ring buoy has been standard since 1855. The rescue tube dates from 1935. Both still wait on the surface for someone to grab them.
02
A rescue without physical contact
Many women, including those who observe hijab, would rather not be handled by a male rescuer, and that hesitation costs seconds. The device carries the person and the rescuer guides the device. Every guest is rescued the same way, with dignity.
03
Strength is no longer the limit
A lifeguard can only tow someone they can out-swim. With Aquaris the device takes the weight, not the rescuer.
04
One rescuer, several people
Two or three swimmers in trouble at once used to mean choosing who waits. With three or four units at the poolside, one rescuer can keep three or four people above water at the same time.
05
Anyone who can swim can use it
You don't need a rescue certificate. A maintenance worker, a parent, or a guest who is in the water before the lifeguard's shift starts can all pick it up and make the rescue.
06
The ambulance is called sooner
Aquaris is designed to get emergency help moving while the rescue is still under way, not after it.

04Deployment
Where it stands ready.
The device waits at the water's edge, in reach of whoever is closest. Three settings, one idea: coverage that does not depend on who is on shift.
Tap a station. Every gold ring is a point where Aquaris waits, in reach of whoever is closest.

06Rescue & public safety
Wherever people
Wherever people
and water meet.
i.
Home pools
Families with young children, for the moments when no adult is watching.
ii.
Hotels & resorts
Including women-only and family pools, and the hours when the lifeguard's chair is empty.
iii.
Beaches & beach clubs
Before and after patrolled hours, and on crowded days.
iv.
Public pools & water parks
High swimmer numbers with a small team on deck.
v.
Swim schools & academies
Young learners, and parents watching from the side.
vi.
Yachts & cruise ships
For a person overboard, when every minute in open water counts.
vii.
Marinas & waterfront homes
Berths, pontoons and private jetties, where falls happen quietly.
viii.
Water taxis & crossings
Busy piers and daily crossings, covered at the landing stage.
ix.
Open-water events & races
Swim legs and regattas, with safety craft carrying units.
x.
Flood & swift water
For civil defence, without putting another life in the current.
xi.
Ice rescue
Ice that will not hold the victim will not hold a rescuer either.
xii.
Lakes & open water
Search and rescue for agency and volunteer teams.
07Industry & recovery
Beyond rescue.
The same technology that brings people up can recover equipment, vehicles and cargo from water, in places where sending a diver is slow, costly or unsafe.
