I understand that participation in this Program involves risk of injury. I understand these risks are entirely my responsibility.
I expressly assume these risks. In particular, I am aware of the risks and hazards inherent upon entering a pool area and
I choose to voluntarily enter the premises, knowing the conditions might become more hazardous and/or dangerous for
myself and I voluntarily assume all such risks, loss, damages, or injury that may be sustained by entering the pool.
By signing this release of liability and participating in this Program, and in consideration for being permitted to participate
in the Program, I do hereby, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and/or for any additional
family members and minors in my care for whom I am submitting a registration, fully and forever release, indemnify,
and discharge Abington Township and Abington Township Parks and Recreation Department, and their officers, officials,

representative, and/or any minors in my care may have or acquire against Abington Township and Abington Township

personal injury or damage to personal property belonging to me and/or any minors in my care which may occur during or
