The Selwyn Aquatic Centre in Rolleston is rolling out AI technology it says will help prevent drownings.
By June it will have a network of 27 cameras which will scan swimmer activity for signs of swimmers in difficulty.
James Richmond, Head of Sport and Recreation, says the tech won't replace lifeguards, but will help them.
