VOGO has been chosen to deploy its VOGOSCOPE solutions in all areas of the CAO. The aim is to provide a Live & Replay video system designed to improve swimmers' performance through live video feedback accessible via tablets, touch screens and a dedicated Cloud. The contract covers the installation of the equipment and associated maintenance services.More specifically, the VOGOSCOPE technology will be deployed:
- On the diving pool via 2 underwater cameras, 3 above water cameras, a tablet and a touch screen;
- On the Olympic pool with 6 underwater cameras, 2 ceiling cameras, a tablet and a touch screen;
- On the dry diving area via a combination of fixed and mobile cameras with associated tablets and screens.
The CAO, the result of a strong partnership between all stakeholders.
After the announcement of the partnership between Myrtha Pools (international leader in the field of swimming pools) and VOGO in April 2022, both players are meeting again at the beginning of 2023 to discuss this international project.A partnership for which Alain Bernard, Olympic swimming champion in 2008, was the driving force as VOGO ambassador in swimming.
On this occasion, VOGO is also entering into a new partnership with Récréa Group, the leading French player in the delegated management of leisure and sports facilities. Récréa is a key player in the sector with 40 years of experience and the management of more than 100 facilities for 10 million users today. Récréa is currently pursuing a strategy of diversifying the services it provides to public bodies, that entrust it with the operation of sports facilities, and to users of these facilities. In this context, Récréa has chosen VOGO to develop and implement adapted VOGOSCOPE systems, providing added value to both high level swimmers and leisure and school swimmers. The CAO is a first project resulting from the partnership between VOGO and Récréa, with the aim of deploying this type of services in other structures from 2023.

For his part, Gilles Sergent, President of Récréa was delighted:"We are very proud to integrate our VOGOSCOPE solutions into the CAO. Following on from the successes of 2022, VOGO is increasingly asserting its position at the heart of major world sporting events.
