iSwimband
iSwimband provides you and your loved ones with an additional layer of protection around water because drowning is extremely difficult to detect.
Aquatic Safety Concepts LLC (http://www.iswimbands.com) was founded by three fathers and friends after one of their childrens'
classmates drowned at a town park. The 9-year old boy was believed to have been submerged for 5
minutes before his body was finally found. The child survived, but now has to deal with neurological
issues for the rest of his life.
The tragedy occurred despite several lifeguards, day camp counselors, and even parents watching the
water that day. The founders were shocked to learn that most drowning involving children happen with
supervision present, and that drowning is a leading cause of death of young people in the U.S. and
worldwide.
Deeply impacted by the needlessness of that event, and its effect on the entire community, the three
founders realized that they had discovered their life's purpose: reduce—if not eradicate—the incidence of
preventable drowning.
How does iSwimband work?
iSwimband is a small, low power wireless sensor that is worn either as a headband or a wristband. The
sensor is paired with a compatible Bluetooth-enabled smart device running the free iSwimband app.
When both the sensor and app are activated, the app continually monitors the status of the sensor. If the
app determines that the sensor has been submerged into water (not simply wet), or submerged for a
(user-adjustable) dangerous period of time (typically 20s-30s), it notifies the caregiver via audiovisual
alerts before the event can turn tragic.
Providing your family with a higher level of water safety starts here. iSwimband will alert you via your
iPhone, iPad or iPad Touch in the event that your swimmer has been submerged beyond a preset time, or
if your non-swimmer enters the water without your knowledge. iSwimband is portable and effective
drowning detection.
Not intended to replace your vigilant supervision. Instead iSwimband provides you and your
loved ones with an additional layer of protection around water because drowning is
extremely difficult to detect.
