System Manual

The Seal SwimSafe band uses a low-voltage battery that is completely enclosed in plastic. The hub and
charger should not be submerged in water.
WHAT SEAL SWIMSAFE IS NOT.
● It is not a substitute for the cornerstones of safe swimming: Early effective swim lessons, vigilant
and well-trained lifeguards and parents, and a safe swimming environment.
● It is not a replacement for vigilant parental and/or lifeguard supervision.
● It is not a rescue device. The SEAL SwimSafe is an alarm; lifeguards perform rescues.
● It is not for babies or anyone with a medical condition where they could drown in water shallow
enough for them to stand up in.
● It is not a device that will save someone who is swimming alone.
● It will not prevent injuries from shallow water jumping or diving.
● It will not prevent injuries from horseplay.
● It is not a GPS tracking or location device. SEAL SwimSafe Alarms when a swimmer is
submerged beyond the time threshold. It is the duty of the guards to closely watch, identify and
rescue swimmer.
● It is not a device that will stop drownings in all situations. SEAL SwimSafe is a last line of
defense. Vigilant lifeguards and parents should strive to identify and rescue swimmers before
they are exhausted and submerged. SEAL SwimSafe is another chance for the swimmer if the
worst happens.
● It is not to be used in above-ground pools or hot tubs/spas/jacuzzis.
● It must be worn correctly to function properly.
● It is not recommended to be used for lap swimming as band will detect that your face is in the
water for too long, triggering a false alarm. If desired, it can be worn with the lights on the back of
the neck for lap swimming.
● It is not recommended to be used with a kickboard as band may get trapped under board and
trigger a false alarm. If desired, it can be worn with the lights on the back of the neck for lap
swimming.
● It is not designed for use off a high dive.
● It is not recommended to be used when one is using a noodle as a kickboard as it may trigger a
false alarm. If desired, it can be worn with the lights on the back of the neck.
● Will not function if it is not worn by the swimmer. Parents and lifeguards should monitor swimmers
closely to prevent removal of the bands until the swim day is over.
