NASHVILLE, Tennessee – The YMCA of Middle Tennessee has announced a substantial investment in AngelEye, a state-of-the-art water safety monitoring system, which will assist on-duty lifeguards in keeping members and guests safe in its indoor swimming pools.
AngelEye is an advanced drowning detection system that uses a combination of patented motion-activated underwater and above-water cameras to detect and analyze the movements of swimmers and provide real-time notifications to safety personnel in the event it detects a possible swimmer in distress.
The YMCA of Middle Tennessee first piloted AngelEye in late 2025, and its performance led to the decision to deploy the technology across all 12 family wellness centers. Installations are scheduled for the Sumner County, Franklin and Robertson County Family YMCAs throughout the month of May, and each system will undergo up to 30 days of testing after installation to include information gathering and learning by the technology before being fully incorporated into lifeguarding procedures at each location. This first round of installations coincided with National Water Safety Month, an annual observance each May that seeks to educate and promote strong safety cultures across pools, programs, and communities. The Y anticipates complete installation of the software for all its indoor pools by the end of the year…
