We are the parents/guardians (Parents) of the child(ren) (Child) who are named in this registration.

Our Child is a swimmer who participates in the competitive swimming program conducted by the Calgary Patriots Swim Club (the Club), an incorporated society under the laws of Alberta.

As Parents, we recognize that the competitive swimming program operated by the Club and in which our Child participates involved rigorous physical activity and we on our own behalf and on behalf of our Child accept all of the risks which are inherent in those activities.

In addition, we as Parents hereby acknowledge that we have been informed that either no insurance coverage or no adequate insurance coverage has been obtained by the Club or by any other party in relation to losses or damages that may be sustained by our Child or claims that might be made by our Child as a result of the Child's involvement in the activities of the Club.

In consideration of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of our Child being allowed to participate, or to continue to participate, as a swimmer in the competitive swimming program of the Club, we as Parents of the Child, on our own behalf and on behalf of the Child and the Child's heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

We the Parents and the Child hereby release and forever discharge:

1. The Club; 

• The coaches and their assistants employed or retained by the Club;
• All other parents and guardians of other children who participate in the activities of the Club and all other persons connected with the Club who serve from time to time as volunteers or chaperones in connection with activities of the Club; and

We acknowledge that by means of this document we intend to release our right and to the extent permissible by law, the right of our Child to make any claim against any of the Releases in connection with anything that may happen concerning or arising out of the activities of the Club as aforesaid.

2. We the Parents also hereby agree that we will at all times indemnify the Releases and agree to hold them harmless from and in respect of all claims, demands, suits or actions, or claims for contribution or indemnity, which may at any time be made or brought against the Releases or any of them by our Child or by anyone on behalf of our Child in connection with any matter or thing concerning or arising out of the activities of the Club save and except any Claims that are directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Club or any of its coaches.
    
3. We the Parents hereby confirm our intention that the Release and the Indemnity contained in this document are to apply in connection with all activities of the Club regardless of where they may occur including, without restricting the foregoing activities that may be conducted in the United States of America.
