Waiver instructions
Complete these in order
The blank lines inside the PDFs do not need to be filled in.
- 1
Read both forms
Read page 1 and page 2 of the required liability waiver and the optional photo/video release. All four pages are shown in registration.
- 2
Accept or decline photo/video
Your Yes or No answer applies to everyone listed in this registration. Declining does not affect participation.
- 3
Draw or type one signature
Draw your signature or choose Type signature instead and enter your full name. One signature covers everyone listed; the optional photo/video release needs no second signature.
One signature for the whole registration. Do not sign inside either PDF and do not sign once per child.
Enter each participant's current swim ability honestly so staff can plan support. For questions about the waiver or participation, email elle@mtcsurf.org before signing.
