ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISKS
I understand that swim lesson involves risks, including:
• Submersion, water inhalation, and drowning
• Slips on wet decks and changing-area floors
• Contact with pool walls, steps, or other swimmers
• Fatigue or distress during unfamiliar water activities
I understand that these examples do not describe every possible risk.

AGREEMENTS
☐ I will follow the school's handoff procedure and supervise my child outside the agreed lesson period.
☐ I understand swim lessons do not make a participant drown-proof or remove the need for supervision.
☐ I will tell the instructor about relevant concerns and follow directions about entering and leaving the water.

RELEASE AND CONSENT — SAMPLE WORDING
To the extent permitted by applicable law, I voluntarily assume the risks described in this agreement and release [Business name] from claims arising from my participation in the described activities, except claims that cannot lawfully be released.
If signing as a parent or guardian, I confirm my authority to consent to the named minor’s participation. This consent does not release rights that applicable law does not allow a parent or guardian to waive.

SIGNATURE
I have read this agreement and had the opportunity to ask questions before signing.

Complete waiver

Illustrative signing preview. Your published form reflects the fields and wording you choose.

01
Swimmer and lesson booking
Record the swimmer's name, age, lesson dates, and group or private format. Distinguish the child participating from the adult making the booking.
02
Pool location and activities
Name the pool and skills taught, such as floating, water entry, and stroke practice. State whether an accompanying adult participates in the water.
03
Water-related risks
Explain submersion, drowning, slips, and pool contact in reviewed risk language. Avoid describing lessons or a signed form as proof of water safety.
04
Experience and instructor conversation
Ask about previous lessons and comfort in the water to inform an initial conversation. Keep skill placement subject to the instructor's actual observation.
05
Supervision and poolside handoff
Explain when the lesson starts and ends, where guardians wait, and who supervises outside instruction. Describe how swimmers are returned to their responsible adult.
06
Emergency details and signature
Collect the appropriate contact and participant or guardian signature. If a host facility requires its own form, identify that separate signing step.

Explain any separate host-facility form requirements
05
Have counsel and your insurer review aquatic and guardian terms

Questions to settle

Review before you publish.

Can parents report their child's swimming level on the waiver?

Yes, as background information. Describe it as parent-reported experience; the instructor still observes skills and determines appropriate lesson activities through the school's usual process.

What if lessons take place at a hotel or community pool?

Name the location and confirm the host's requirements. Families may need both your instruction agreement and a facility form, so explain the two steps before the first visit.

Should the form cover parent-and-child lessons differently?

Yes. Describe the adult's in-water role and collect the appropriate participation information. A guardian signing for a child and an adult entering the lesson are different circumstances.
