I am an adult of 18 years of age and wish to participate in Salina Family YMCA (the “YMCA”) membership/program and special activities. I agree that my children or legal wards can participate and give them permission to participate in YMCA activities. As used in the Agreement “children” shall include legal wards and “parent” shall include legal guardian. As a condition to being permitted to utilize the facilities, services and programs of the YMCA for any purpose, including but not limited to observation or use of the facilities or equipment, or participation in any off-site program affiliated with the YMCA, I, the undersigned, acknowledge, agree, and represent that I have inspected and carefully considered the facilities and programs. I understand that even when every reasonable precaution is taken, accident can happen. As a condition to participate by me or my children in YMCA activities, on my behalf, and on the behalf of my children, I waive and release any claims for loss or injury incurred or suffered which I or my children might make against the YMCA, its sponsors, officers, employees, volunteers, or contractors as a result of participating in YMCA activities or using its facilities. I further agree to indemnify the YMCA against and hold it harmless from loss incurred as a result of claims against it based upon alleged or omissions by me or my children. I have read this authorization, waiver and release, understand it, and am voluntarily signing it.
