Village West Vikings

As Parent/Guardian of the above-name minor(s), I grant permission for the swimmer(s) to participate in all activities of the Village West Vikings Swim Team, a Northern Virginia Swimming League (NVSL) member team. I represent and warrant that my minor child/children participating on the Village West Vikings Swim Team are in good health and have no physical condition, ailment or disability which renders them unable to participate in vigorous physical activity. For and in consideration of benefits derived from participation in the Village West Vikings Swim Team program, I understand that the risk of injury to my child from the activities involved in these programs is significant, including the potential for permanent disability and death, and while particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist. I assume all risks and hazards arising out of, or related to, such participation, including, but not limited to, transportation to and from such activities, and do hereby indemnify, release and hold harmless the Village West Vikings Swim Team, its coaches, team representatives, volunteers, property manager, employees and agents, as well as the Northern Virginia Swimming League, from all claims of any kind whatsoever which may arise or hereafter accrue in connection with my child’s/children’s participation in activities of the Village West Vikings Swim Team. I further grant permission for first aid to be given to my child/children in an emergency, and will be solely responsible for any medical costs which may arise. I AGREE THAT THEY WILL ABIDE BY THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA SWIMMING LEAGUE CODE OF CONDUCT.

I certify that I am a participant age 18 or the parent or legal guardian for my child(ren).

Release of Liability to Participate

I understand that participation in swimming activities involves a certain degree of risk. I have carefully considered the risk involved and have given consent for myself or my child to participate in these activities.

I release the Village West Swim Team, its representatives and coaching staff, Village West Inc. and its Board of Directors, Fairfax County Park Authority and its staff, the activity coordinators, and all employees, volunteers, related parties, or other organizations associated with the activity from any and all claims or liability arising out of this participation. I approve the sharing of the information in this registration with the coaching staff and professionals who need to know of medical situations that might require special consideration for the safe conduct of swimming activities.
