I, the "releasee," acknowledge that I am enrolling myself, my child/children/family member(s) or other participants in the swim lesson program offered by Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® LLC. I understand that participation involves inherent risks, including but not limited to drowning, injury, illness, infection (e.g., MRSA, influenza, COVID-19), slips and falls, equipment malfunction or failure, physical contact with other participants, weather-related hazards, and emotional distress. I am aware that these risks may result in serious consequences, such as permanent disability or even death. By enrolling in this program, I acknowledge my understanding of these potential risks and accept them on behalf of myself and any other participant(s) I am enrolling.

I, the releasee, along with any parents or adults I am associated with who are participating in the Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® swim lessons program, agree to hold harmless Little Fishies Infant Aquatics®, its owners, instructors, agents, employees, successors, and assigns for any injuries, damages, or losses that may occur due to their participation, to the extent permitted by law. This agreement does not waive the rights of any child or minor to pursue legal action in the event of negligence or fault by Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® or its associates.
Risk Acknowledgment
I acknowledge, agree, and understand that there are inherent risks associated with the sports activities/swimming lessons conducted by Little Fishies Infant Aquatics®, including, but not limited to, severe injuries, brain damage, and even death. These activities could be hazardous in nature and/or may encompass activities such as swimming and various forms of strenuous exercise and physical activities. Fully comprehending the facts, I declare that, to the best of my knowledge, the students enrolled have no medical, physical, or emotional health conditions that would obstruct or hinder their participation in Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® programs. I hereby willingly assume the risk of any injury to the registered students that could arise from their involvement in Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® activities.
Pool Facility, Equipment and Behavior Control Disclaimer
Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® is not responsible for inspecting or maintaining facilities used for swim lessons if they are owned or operated by third parties.
Additionally, Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® does not have control over the behavior of clients during swim lessons. Clients are expected to adhere to the rules and guidelines established by Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® and to maintain a respectful and safe environment for all participants.
By scheduling a lesson with Little Fishies Infant Aquatics®, I, the releasee, acknowledge and agree to these conditions and release Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® from any liability for injury, death, or property damage suffered by me, my child/children/family member(s), or other registered students/participant’s that may arise from facility or equipment conditions, or client or instructor behavior.
Weather-Related Rescheduling Responsibility Clause
Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® is dedicated to ensuring the safety of all participants and instructors during swim lessons. In the event of inclement or life-threatening weather conditions, such as thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rain, hail, extreme heat, or other hazardous situations, it is the responsibility of the releasee, parents, or guardians to reschedule the swim lessons in consultation with Little Fishies Infant Aquatics®'s swim instructors. Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® instructors will also provide input and guidance on rescheduling lessons to ensure the well-being of all involved.

I agree that Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® will not be held responsible if I, the releasee, parent, or guardian fail to follow this procedure, as Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® is not responsible for informing their clients about bad weather.

Supervision Requirement
We require at least 1 adult/parent or legal guardian to be present and maintain direct supervision of the student before and after lessons. Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® is not responsible for any accidents or injuries that may occur due to the lack of appropriate supervision by the releasee, parent or guardian.

Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is highly contagious and is thought to spread primarily through person-to-person contact. Consequently, federal, state, and local governments, as well as federal and state health agencies, advocate social distancing and have, in numerous locations, forbidden gatherings of groups of people. Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® has implemented preventative measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19; nevertheless, Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® cannot assure that you or your child(ren) will not contract COVID-19. Moreover, attending Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® swimming lessons could heighten your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
By signing this agreement, I recognize the infectious nature of COVID-19 and willingly assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participating in Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® swimming lessons, and that such exposure or infection could result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, or death. I comprehend that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® may arise from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® employees, contractors, and program participants and their families.
I voluntarily consent to assume all the aforementioned risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may encounter or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s participation in Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® swim lessons. As the “Releasee”, parent or legal guardian, I hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless Little Fishies Infant Aquatics®, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any claims that I may have, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release does not encompass any claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of Little Fishies Infant Aquatics®, its employees, agents, and representatives that may impact my child(ren)'s legal rights.
Photo and Video Release
I understand that Little Fishies Infant Aquatics®, their swim instructors or staff, may ask to take photos or videos during swim lessons for promotional & educational purposes. Only under my written or verbal consent will I grant Little Fishies Infant Aquatics®, their swim instructors or staff, the right to take photos or videos of the swim lessons, use the participant's likeness in such material and publish or share these photos and videos on their social media pages, website, or other platforms. I am aware that I can decline or withdraw this consent at any time, and Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® will honor my decision.
Safety Responsibility
I acknowledge that Little Fishies Infant Aquatics® private swim lesson program is not a substitute for supervision or safety measures, and I am responsible for ensuring proper supervision and safety measures for my child/children/family member(s) or participants I sign up in my registration form when swimming or participating in water activities.
Risk Acceptance
I, the releasee, understand the risks involved in this swim lesson program, my personal responsibilities for adhering to rules and regulations, and accept them as a participant in Little Fishies Infant Aquatics®'s swim lesson program.
Severability
If any provision or part of this liability waiver is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions or parts of this waiver. The remaining provisions or parts shall remain in full force and effect as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision or part was never included in this waiver. The parties agree to replace any invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision with a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that achieves, to the greatest extent possible, the original purpose and intent of the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision.
