PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
In consideration of the services of Beat By Beat LLC, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as “BBB”), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge BBB, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
​
1. I acknowledge that my participation in training and instruction activities or utilization of any BBB service, including those involving and in proximity to a swimming pool, entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.​
​
The risks include, among other things: accidental drowning; slipping and falling; strains, sprains, muscle soreness, broken bones, cramping, and musculoskeletal injuries including head, neck, and back injuries; cuts, abrasions, and bruises; the negligence of participants, or other persons who may be present; collision with fixed objects or people; the possibility of eye damage or loss of hearing; the failure to swim safely or within one’s own ability or within designated area; ability to swim and/or follow directions; transmissible pathogens or diseases, my own physical condition, and the physical exertion associated with this activity.
Furthermore, BBB personnel have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.
​
2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity and those that accompany the utilization of BBB services. My participation in this activity and utilization of BBB services is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.
​
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless BBB from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in any activity or my use of BBB ‘s equipment, facilities or services, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of BBB.
​
4. Should BBB or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
​
5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.
​
6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against BBB, I agree to do so solely in the state of Illinois, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect.
By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity or utilization of any BBB service, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against BBB on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I also agree that this document is valid for subsequent visits and participation at BBB. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
