Ocean Safety School / West Palm Beach.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY

I, the undersigned parent/guardian, acknowledge that ocean-based aquatic activities carry inherent risks including but not limited to: drowning, near-drowning, strong currents, marine life encounters, sun exposure, physical injury, and other hazards associated with open water environments.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK

I understand that The Shore Academy conducts instruction in open ocean waters where conditions are variable and unpredictable. I acknowledge that even with qualified instruction and safety protocols, risks cannot be entirely eliminated.

WAIVER AND RELEASE

In consideration of being permitted to participate in The Shore Academy's programs, I hereby waive, release, and forever discharge The Shore Academy, its owners, instructors, employees, and agents from any and all liability, claims, demands, and causes of action arising out of or related to any injury, loss, or damage that may occur during participation.

MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION

I authorize The Shore Academy instructors to seek emergency medical treatment for my child if necessary during sessions. I confirm my child is in good physical health and capable of participating in strenuous aquatic activities.

SWIMMING PREREQUISITE ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I confirm that my child is a proficient pool swimmer, is comfortable in deep water, and has completed prior swimming instruction. I understand The Shore Academy is an ocean navigation program, not a learn-to-swim program.

PAYMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY

A $50-per-student deposit is required at the time of booking to reserve your session, with the remaining balance due after your pre-session consultation call. If The Shore Academy determines during the consultation that a participant is not ready for ocean instruction, the deposit is refunded in full. If you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled session, or fail to attend without cancelling in advance, the deposit is forfeited. Weather-related reschedules initiated by The Shore Academy are not subject to any fee.

PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO CONSENT

I grant The Shore Academy permission to photograph and video record my child during sessions for the purposes of providing session media to families and for marketing/promotional use, unless I opt out below.
