Parties
Identify the organizer and participant (or guardian) with full legal names, addresses, and contact information to ensure attribution and enforceability.
A well-drafted Water Play Agreement reduces legal uncertainty, documents informed consent, and helps ensure compliance with facility policies and insurance requirements. It creates a consistent framework for handling emergencies, medical needs, and behavioral expectations.
Organizations and individuals who run water-based programs use this agreement to collect consent and protect participants and providers.
Maintain completed agreements securely and ensure they are available on-site during activities for staff and emergency responders.
Identify the organizer and participant (or guardian) with full legal names, addresses, and contact information to ensure attribution and enforceability.
Describe the nature, location, date(s), schedule, supervision ratios, and specific water features involved so expectations are clear and scope is limited.
Collect allergies, chronic conditions, medications, and emergency contact details; include explicit consent for emergency treatment when guardian authorization is required.
A clear statement that the participant (or guardian) understands inherent risks of water activities and accepts responsibility within defined limits.
Specify waivers, indemnification obligations, and any caps on liability consistent with state law to reduce ambiguity after incidents.
