Lake Michigan safety towers installed at Grand Haven beach

Eight SwimSmart towers have been installed at Grand Haven State Park. The solar powered SwimSmart towers contain flotation devices and can activate an emergency response to the beach. Jacob Soter, founder and CEO of SwimSmart Technology Solutions, was at the park on Monday, May 20, 2024, to show how the safety towers work as part of a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
