Saratoga Woods Swim Team

I agree to volunteer at any meet in which my child(ren) are participants. If I am unable to fulfill my volunteer role (meet jobs will be selected in the week prior to each meet) I understand that I need to find my own replacement.

The Junipero Serra Swim League (JSSL) requires all member clubs to obtain a waiver and release of liability from each swimmer who will participate in any league swim team activity in favor of the League and all member clubs, officials, coaches, and representatives. This means that upon joining the Swim Team, you agree, on behalf of you and your child, not to make any claim arising out of an injury to your child during swim team activities against the League, its member clubs or associated persons.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY -- READ BEFORE SIGNING

In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in JSSL program, its related events and activities, I, the undersigned, acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that:

1. The risk of injury from the activities involved in this program is significant, including the potential for permanent paralysis and death, and while particular skills, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and,
2. I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES or others, and assume full responsibility for my participation; and,
3. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the Company immediately; and,
4. I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE JSSL, their officers, officials, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used for the activity ("Releasees"), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
