In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in Race Pace Club AZ sports program, related events and activities, the undersigned acknowledges, appreciates, and agrees that: 1) The risk of injury from the activities involved in this program is significant, including the potential for permanent paralysis and death, and while particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and, 2) I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, and assume full responsibility for my participation; and, 3) I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the nearest official immediately; and, 4) I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS Race Pace Club AZ their directors, officers, officials, agents, team doctors and medical practitioners, volunteers and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event (“RELEASEES”), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property, to the fullest extent permitted by law. I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.

I understand that I am signing my child(ren) up for the four-month season and will be billed for that season whether I opted for monthly installments or the seasonal rate (5% discount). I understand RPC has seasonal financial commitments to be able to provide this program and it is the responsibility of every family in the program to do their part (payment, volunteering, etc) so the swim programs can continue.

(Winter Example: If we have 10 swimmers in a program and 8 of them decide they don’t want to swim the last month because it’s too cold and don’t want to pay for “unused time”, the program’s income decreases dramatically while our expenses are soaring as we must pay to heat the pool in winter.)

I acknowledge that my child(ren) is/are returning athlete(s) and that all acknowledgements and waivers I previously agreed to with my original registration are still in effect. 

In order to provide access to the community pool for winter training, we are required per contract to cover 1/3 of the expenses to heat and maintain the pool throughout the winter. This runs around $7,500  for OUR SHARE and is ON TOP OF regular pool rental expense, averaging out to $300 per swimmer. In order to avoid passing these costs through to our families, it is CRUCIAL that we fundraise throughout the year.  Fundraising includes Giving Tuesday, End-of-Year-Campaign, Carwashes, Swim-a-Tron and more. Please think through your list of contacts to see who might wish to participate financially as a donor, team sponsor, or as a volunteer.
