RLSS UK supports using technology, as its primary aim is to assist lifeguards, not to remove them altogether. The lifeguard is the primary control, with the technology being secondary. It is important to remember the role of the lifeguard is to identify hazards, educate pool users, keep the pool environment safe, and, in the event of emergency rescue, recover the pool user to poolside, providing immediate lifesaving first aid if required. Technology cannot fulfil the role of a lifeguard and shouldn't be used to replace the lifeguard.
