I believe that safety should always be the FIRST concern!!!! (I too was a lifeguard and once, thankfully only once, had to recessitate a ~8 yr old girl, water safety is something that CAN'T BE OVERSTRESSED!!!!).

I did start an auxillary thread here, in hopes that this idea might become a reality and make the pools a safer place (sure, I'd upgrade to an 'all wheel drive vehicle'), but I'd hope to support not only the forum, but give a large part of the proceeds to 'swimming education', ie @ the YMCA or other groups that need the funding to educate young swimmers and teach them the 'rules' of water safety and how to swim.
