Check In

All SBTS/Boyce shield card holders must check in at the Health & Rec Center's front desk before entering through the glass doors that lead into the facility.

 

Children & Supervision

Children under age five may be taken into the opposite gender locker room, yet must always remain within arm’s length of the supervising adult; stalls afford convenience and privacy.

Children 11 and under must be supervised by an adult (18 years +) member in every area of the HRC, including the pool, and are prohibited from entering the whirlpool, sauna, steam room and weight room.

Children age 12 and over are welcome to use the lobby area, main gym, track and pool without adult supervision. Children 16 and over may use the weight room unsupervised. Children age 16-17 have unrestricted use of the HRC, though not considered supervising adults.

Shoes are not allowed on the swimming deck. A shower is required before entering the pool, hot tub or kiddy pool.

Liability Release

Please read carefully.

 

I affirm that the child is in good mental and physical condition for the activities in which he/she will engage, but I understand that they involve physically strenuous activity and that he/she will be exerting themselves during these activities. I expressly assume the risk of such activities, release and hold the seminary and any of the staff harmless from any injuries which result from such activities.

 

The child will not engage in any such activities under the influence of alcohol or drugs; any medications he/she may be taking is solely my responsibility based upon consultation with a physician who have approved its use while engaging in such activities.

 

I understand that even if the child is in good physical condition there is still some risk of injury or illness involved with any strenuous physical activities, and I expressly assume the risk of such injuries or illnesses.

 

I understand that accidents and injuries, including cardiovascular stress and violent physical contact, may occur in sports and fitness activities through no fault or negligence of any of the parties involved. Participation can result in serious, severe injury and even death. The child's participation in such activities is with full knowledge of the risks involved. I expressly assume the risks of such activities, release and hold the seminary and the staff harmless from any injuries which result from such activities.

 

I understand that the use of equipment provided may involve risk or injury, especially if the equipment is not properly used. I agree that it is the child's responsibility to learn the proper use of the equipment and I expressly assume the risks involved in the use of any equipment.

 

 I understand that others may be using the facilities at the same time as the child  and that the Seminary will not be supervising them. I expressly waive any claim I may have against the Seminary and the staff for injuries as the result of the activities of others, including their acts of negligence or recklessness.

 

 I acknowledge that I alone am responsible for the child's own activities while using the gym and recreational facilities and I cannot rely upon anyone else to advise the child of improper or unsafe procedures and practices. The Seminary and the staff have no duty or obligation to supervise the child's activities in any way. I will exercise care in the child's activities while engaging in these activities and I assume full responsibility and liability for injury or harm which occurs as the result of any lack of care, expertise or experience on my part.

I agree to take responsibility so that the child abides the policies listed above and abides to the code of conduct as described in the SBTS Student Handbook.
