Latham Teams With Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion Skier Bode Miller to Promote Pool Safety Reminders for Water Safety Month
Latham Automatic Safety Cover
LATHAM, N.Y., May 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With summer just around the corner, Latham, The Pool Company [NASDAQ:SWIM], is reminding families to prioritize safety as we head into peak swimming season. During National Water Safety Month this May, the leading manufacturer of in-ground residential swimming pools is teaming up with Olympic and World Championship gold medalist and two-time Overall World Cup Champion Bode Miller to share essential pool safety tips with the goal of helping to prevent accidents and ensuring that homeowners can enjoy their pools with confidence.
'Drowning prevention is a cause that's deeply personal to me, which is why I've partnered with Latham and Coverstar to help raise awareness about the importance of pool safety,' said Bode Miller, whose 19-month-old daughter accidentally drowned in a neighbor's pool back in 2018. 'Simple steps like swim lessons and installing an autocover can make all the difference in keeping kids safe around the water.'
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the leading cause of death among children ages 1–4, with more than 4,000 unintentional drowning deaths in the U.S. every year.* By taking proactive measures, pool owners can help create a safer swimming environment for their loved ones.
'Swimming pools are a place of joy, relaxation and family fun—but safety should always come first,' said Scott Rajeski, President and CEO of Latham. 'At Latham, we are committed to not only delivering high-quality pools, but also to providing education on how to create a secure pool environment. Water Safety Month is the perfect time to talk about how to make backyard swimming pools as safe as possible.'
Following are five essential water safety tips from the experts at Latham:
Never Leave Children Unattended – Always have an adult supervising when children are in or near an open pool. Designate a 'Water Watcher' to remain alert and avoid distractions like phones.
Teach Kids to Swim – According to the National Institute of Health, formal swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning in children ages 1-4 by 88%.** It's important to enroll children in swim lessons as soon as possible.
Install an Automatic Safety Cover – One of the most effective ways to prevent tragic accidents is by installing an automatic safety cover. Made with ultra-durable material that is essentially impenetrable, these covers provide a secure barrier that keeps kids, pets, wildlife and unauthorized guests out of the water. Additionally, a keyed safety switch is required for operation, providing peace of mind when the pool is not in use and when owners are away.'You wouldn't build a house without a roof, would you? The same thinking applies to a pool,' explained Rajeski. 'Our Coverstar automatic pool covers offer incredible peace of mind for homeowners looking to keep loved ones and pets out of harm's way. They also help to maintain water quality and reduce evaporation, making them a smart investment overall.'
Practice Water Safety – Make sure every member of the household is educated on essential water safety rules, such as never swimming alone and always practicing the 'feet first' rule when entering a pool or spa.
Be Prepared for Emergencies – Keep safety equipment, such as a life ring and first aid kit, near the pool. It can also be helpful to learn CPR and ensure family and friends know how to respond in case of an emergency.

Syntiant to Demonstrate Ultra-Low-Power Automotive AI Innovations at AutoSens and InCabin 2025
IRVINE, Calif., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syntiant Corp., the recognized leader in low-power edge AI deployment, today announced it will showcase two of its vehicle sensing technologies at AutoSens and InCabin 2025, June 10-12 at Huntington Place in Detroit (Booth #210). Syntiant's multimodal automotive solutions are designed to enhance vehicle safety and user experiences by enabling always-on audio and vision intelligence at the edge, without draining the battery or relying on cloud connectivity. Live demonstrations will include: Low-power camera security system . Ideal for applications such as parked vehicle monitoring and fleet management, this AI perimeter security solution keeps dash or external cameras in an ultra-low-power standby mode while continuously monitoring for specific audio or visual cues, such as footsteps, voices or motion near the vehicle. Upon detection, the system instantly activates high-resolution cameras to begin recording at under 200 mW, preserving energy while improving real-time incident capture. In contrast, traditional always-on security systems can draw over 100 watts , limiting them to electric vehicles with large batteries. Syntiant's solution delivers comparable performance at a fraction of the power, enabling always-on security for virtually any vehicle. .

Traditional microphones placed outside of a vehicle are prone to failure in harsh environments. Rain, dust, snow and even car washes might permanently damage the device. Syntiant's V2S vibration sensors mounted on a vehicle's door, windshield or trunk, detect motions caused by external sounds, enabling features like emergency vehicle detection and hands-free voice commands (e.g., 'open trunk'), without the exposure-related limitations of conventional microphones. By effectively turning the vehicle's surface into the microphone, the Syntiant V2S provides a durable and reliable alternative for external sound detection. 'Enhanced sensing capabilities are essential to meet the demands of smarter vehicles, especially when driving conditions are less than ideal,' said Greg Doll, SVP and GM of Syntiant's sensors business unit. 'By integrating sensors, AI hardware and software, we have developed low-power automotive intelligence that can enable vehicles to be more responsive to their surroundings, and ultimately more useful to drivers and passengers.' Syntiant's complete automotive solutions are powered by a combination of its Neural Decision Processors, ML models, sensors and microphones. These technologies power a broad range of intelligent automotive features, including voice and siren detection, blind spot alerts, facial recognition, battery management, in-cabin monitoring and other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
