Reach a swimmer in distress 3× faster.

The Dolphin 3 sends a powered flotation platform straight to a distressed swimmer, keeping your lifeguard safe on shore until the moment they are truly needed.

Why it matters

Two people are at risk in every rescue. Not one.

The swimmer is the emergency. Your lifeguard is the other one. Drowning is a leading cause of death on the job for water rescue personnel, and every rescue swim puts a trained professional into the exact conditions that just overwhelmed a civilian. This closes the distance for the swimmer and takes the swim out of the equation for your lifeguard.

14s

Flotation reaches them first

100 metres in about 14 seconds, while a lifeguard is still clearing the sand. The swimmer has something that floats before anyone has reached them.

0

Lifeguards in the water

When the swimmer is conscious and can hold on, the platform brings them in on its own. Nobody on your staff enters the surf at all.

100%

Of your lifeguard, when it counts

When a lifeguard must activate, the Dolphin 3 swiftly tows them to the swimmer in distress rather than swimming out. This preserves their energy for the actual rescue.

2 sec

Conditions stop deciding

Dual jet pumps with no exposed blades, and a hull that rights itself in about two seconds. Rip currents and shore break become conditions to work in rather than a second emergency.

Who it's for

Anyone responsible for people in open water.

Beach patrol

Guarded and unguarded stretches, seasonal staffing, long response distances.

Fire and water rescue

Swiftwater and flood response, where entering the water is the last resort.

Parks and recreation

Lakes, reservoirs and aquatics programs under a city or county budget.

Ports and marinas

Person in the water events alongside vessels and hard structures.

Camps and universities

Waterfront programs carrying real liability and a young seasonal staff.

Events and security

Open water swims, regattas and waterfront events with temporary coverage.

How it works

Four steps. The first three take seconds.

Scroll and follow it out.

01

Launch

From the stand, the truck or the boat. Magnetic standby keeps it ready for months without a charge cycle.

02

Drive it out

Handheld control, 15.7 mph, out to 2,625 ft on line of sight. No pilot licence, no spotter.

03

They grab on

The platform holds them up and holds position until it is told otherwise.

04

Bring them in

Under power the whole way back, and ready to go again on the same shift.

The controller

One lifeguard runs it, eyes never leave the water.

A simple joystick and throttle, with a display for speed, range and battery. Anyone on your team can be driving it confidently inside one training session, which is the first thing we do on a demo.
