Myrtha Pools announces partnership to deploy connected pool solution

April 30, 2022

Myrtha Pools has announced an agreement with sport technology platform VOGO to equip facilities with a turnkey video recording and broadcasting solution.

The leading swimming pool builder’s partnership will see VOGO technology embedded in Myrtha’s stainless steel pools, allowing operators to enhance their service offering to users.

The partnership was driven by Alain Bernard, 2008 Olympic swimming champion, who facilitated Myrtha Pools and VOGO coming together during the renovation of equipment at the Cercle des Nageurs d’Antibes facility in southern France.

This meeting quickly led to the broader discussions that gave rise to the partnership for the French market: the opportunity to incorporate video technology into pools for advanced applications across all aquatic disciplines, whether for amateurs or professionals.

A division of A&T Europe S.p.A. Group, Myrtha Pools has built pools in more than 70 countries and delivered more than 300 projects in France.

An international leader in the field of competition, training and recreational pools, its exclusive technologies are selected for international competitions, including the Olympic Games and the World Swimming Championships.

Digital swimming pools
Myrtha Pools’ strategy is to develop its business as a manufacturer of swimming pools by adding an extended range of services for aquatic centre operators. In this context, the partnership between Myrtha Pools and VOGO is based on the combination of two types of expertise: the development of innovative video solutions designed for the world of sports, on the VOGO side, and the knowledge of the global market of aquatic equipment and infrastructures, on the Myrtha Pools side.

This partnership - initially for the French market - is based on a joint offer that incorporates a live and replay video recording and broadcasting solution in pools manufactured by Myrtha Pools.

It will see pools equipped with underwater and above-water cameras linked with terminals for viewing live video streams in order to provide a turnkey video service for pool users and managers.

There are multiple applications for this solution:

Improved performance for elite swimmers;
Swimming lessons in a school or association setting;
Monetisation of aquatic competitions that are not usually covered by the mainstream media, such as races, water polo, synchronised swimming
New video services for users of sports or recreational pools

For Myrtha Pools, the incorporation of VOGO solutions is seen as a decisive commercial advantage in its strategy to digitalise competition, training and recreational pools.

For VOGO, this alliance gives it access to new markets and demonstrates once again the potential of its technologies in the world of sports, with considerable markets still to be conquered.
