Swimming pool automatic rescue device

An in-ground swimming pool rescue apparatus comprising:

• a safety net having a shape adapted to conform to the shape of a perimeter of the swimming pool and having metal arms fastened at predetermined locations to a peripheral edge of the net, said safety net being submerged underwater at a bottom surface of the swimming pool when in an inactive condition and rising to a point above the water surface when the apparatus is activated thereby causing the metal arms and the net to be raised,
• generally hollow cylinders adapted to be positioned at predetermined locations around the perimeter of the swimming pool and stand vertically on the bottom surface of the swimming pool and extend upward to just above water surface, said cylinders having waterproof slits running vertically therethrough for insertion of the metal arms into the cylinders,
• collapsible rods inside the cylinders that ride up and down inside the cylinders, said collapsible rods having tops shaped for receiving and firmly engaging an end of said metal arms, said collapsible rods attached to motors located at a bottom of the cylinders so as, when activated by the motor, to be caused to move up the cylinder until the rod is fully extended, and
• infra red detection poles associated with each cylinder and adapted for standing on a patio surface outside the perimeter of the swimming pool, said infra red detection poles electrically connected to the motors by insulated electric wire running down the cylinders from the poles and adapted for running around the perimeter of the swimming pool and for being electrically connected to a power source, said infra red detection poles capable of sending an electric signal through the wire to activate the motors whenever movement by animate objects between the poles is detected.
