Pool Extraction Board.

RLSS / IQL have produced a new spinal cord injury management board for swimming pools.  The Pool Extraction Board (PXB)  can be operated by 2 lifeguard on pools with no freeboard or up to a 30cm freeboard with 3 lifeguards.  Did my training on this board this week so I can roll out delivery.  Conclusion: I recommend this equipment very well thought out and designed.  See link.PXB
