On the .5b someone wrote drowning is among the 2 leading
causes of death for children under 15, and a website says this
is true [link].
I think having a swimming robot at the pool that was basically
a life preserver could rescue people. Also, if you didn't need
rescuing you would just find
a big puffy fish next to you,
which ought to be harmless.
There is not an exact match to this online, but there is a
flying drone life preserver rather than a swimming one at the
pool.

Drowning is usually a quiet affair. The splashng panic is less common than a person's body instinctively doing everything possible to stay afloat with the minimum possible use of energy. It takes a trained observer. |

You just gave me a pretty cool idea [beanster], but it's got to percolate a bit. |
|

Perhaps it could be light and soft enough to throw through a
hoop and be actively fun. |

Fortunately, machine learning is very good at being trained
for narrow tasks like this, and at outperforming humans in
them. |
