I give it 7 seconds before the children start pretending to drown at the bottom of the pool to summon the rescuebot.

Yes, and that's the other thing.

To reliably distinguish between drowning and breath-holding, you need to wait (or have more context)

This device (which has to come out through a secret underwater hatch and propel itself amongst people) cannot be faster than a lifeguard who has spotted the questionable situation and put themselves close to it before making a decision.

I can see the famous kissing scene from Squints in "The Sandlot" movie remade once again.
