Lifeguard Positioning and Training Tool (LPTT )
®
35
The LPTT is a full-facility kit for medium to large, or irregularly shaped pools, used for training lifeguards to visually search every cubic foot of water in their surveillance zone, to scientifically test lifeguard zone boundaries, and to validate lifeguard chair height and position.
The LPTT Kit includes:
-
35 ANGELS™ devices
-
5 custom-fitted, water resistant storage cases, each holding 7 ANGELS.
-
LPTT user manual and training instructions to conduct scientifically validated testing and self-certify your facility's testing completion.

The Scientific Method,
Applied to Aquatic Safety at Your Facility
Implementation of the Lifeguard Positioning & Training Tool (LPTT®) at your facility is simple. Our step-by-step process provides scientifically supported solutions to critical lifeguarding factors such as lifeguard placement, surveillance zones, and scanning techniques.
The Science of
ANGELS™ devices
Utilizing LPTT to
Ensure Verifiable Lifeguard Coverage
During testing, ANGELS devices are placed in a grid formation along the bottom of the pool, with the long side of each ANGELS device facing the lifeguard, as shown in the diagram below. This crucial first step provides a three dimensional visual reference for conducting a systematic analysis.
Lifeguards count the number of ANGELS devices they can identify during various levels and types of pool activity.
Unidentified ANGELS devices within each zone represent surveillance blind spots.
As results from the individual zones are compiled, systemic blind spots become apparent, and optimization of surveillance zones is possible. Ongoing testing provides validation as conditions and personnel change.
Utilizing the ANGELS devices to
Train & Reinforce Proper Scanning
LPTT is the ideal tool to train and reinforce proper scanning techniques.
Lifeguards must be consistent, vigilant, and systematic in their visual search of every cubic foot of water. Scanning in a grid formation is a learned skill that has demonstrated advantages over competing methodologies.
However, it is impossible to effectively train and assess these skills with traditional safety devices.
ANGELS devices are the only product that allows for ongoing training and testing in active pool conditions without disturbing patrons; something that cannot be achieved with lifelike silhouettes or manikins.
