QuaySwim – JUNIOR (U16) - Rules & Waiver
We are committed to providing a safe & enjoyable experience here at QuaySwim. To assist us with this, all swimmers agree to swim entirely at their own risk and in the unlikely event of injury, accident, loss or damage suffered, no responsibility shall be attached to the organisers, sponsors, or any person involved in the organisation of QuaySwim at Mytchett Lake.
- Swimming will always be at the discretion of Quays Swim staff and may include an assessment of ability & the requirement to wear an inflatable, brightly coloured, towfloat (loaned by Quays Swim if required).
- Children must be accompanied in the lake by a parent/guardian, who is a strong (not a novice) open water swimmer at all times, unless that child is a club swimmer, in which case they may swim without an adult if assessed by a QS coach prior to their swim session or on the recommendation of the swim club coach.
- This agreement must be signed on behalf of a junior by a parent/guardian.
