Section 1

Acknowledgment of Risk

I understand that swimming and water activities involve inherent risks, including but not limited to injury, illness, or drowning. I voluntarily choose to have my child participate in lessons with JerryBuilt Swim LLC and accept all associated risks.

I acknowledge that JerryBuilt Swim LLC and its instructors are not responsible for accidents or injuries that may occur during or as a result of participation.

I understand that lifeguards may not be present at all lesson locations, especially at private or backyard pools.

I acknowledge that the instructor is not acting as a lifeguard and is not responsible for supervising swimmers outside of direct instruction.

I accept full responsibility for my child’s safety outside of active instruction.

Section 3

Parent Responsibility

For swimmers under the age of 2, a parent or guardian is required to be in the water and actively participate.

For all other swimmers, I understand that I am responsible for supervision before, during, and after lessons, even if I am not physically in the water.
