Address:

By signing this document you will waive certain legal rights, including the right to sue.

Definitions: The term ‘Event Organisers’ (‘Event’ relating to the training swims) includes Chalkwell Redcaps, Havens Hospices and their directors, officers, employees, volunteers and representatives.

Assumption of Risks: I am aware that taking part in the training swims for the Great Pier Swim or swimming sessions organised by Chalkwell Redcaps involves risks, dangers and hazards in addition to those normally associated with open water swimming. I acknowledge and accept that the ‘open water’ is uncontrolled and may contain hazards and risks beyond the control of the ‘Event Organisers’.

I am aware of the risks, dangers and hazards associated with taking part in open water swimming and I freely accept and fully assume all such risks, dangers, hazards and the possibility of personal injury or death resulting there from.

I hereby agree as follows:

1) TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS that I have or may have in the future against the ‘Event Organisers’ and associated parties and representatives arising out of any aspect of my participation in open water swimming

2) TO RELEASE THE EVENT ORGANISERS from any and all liability for any loss, expense or injury including death that I may suffer or my next of kin may suffer as a result of my participation in open water swimming.

I confirm and warrant that I am fit and healthy and able to undertake the swim.

I confirm that I have read and understood this agreement prior to signing it, and I am aware that by signing this agreement I am waiving certain legal rights which I or my next of kin may have against the Event Organisers. I acknowledge that I have had ability (whether or not exercisered) to take independent legal advice on the implications of this document prior to signing it.

I confirm that the decision to take part in open water swimming on the day of the session is freely and ultimately my own.
