Ocean TrainingProgram Policies

By registering for Ocean Training with Seabass Aquatics, I acknowledge that ocean swimming and open-water activities involve inherent risks, including but not limited to waves, currents, changing tides, marine life, underwater hazards, weather conditions, physical exertion, and other naturally occurring ocean conditions.

On behalf of myself and/or my minor child, I knowingly assume the risks associated with participation in ocean and open-water activities.

I agree to release and hold harmless Seabass Aquatics and its instructors from claims arising from I agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Seabass Aquatics, its owners and instructors against any third parties claims or loss arising from my or my child's actions with respect to Seabass Aquatics including taking swim lessons and ocean lessons, to the fullest extent permitted by law. If registering a minor, I confirm that I am the legal parent or guardian and agree to these terms on their behalf.

• Registration is accepted based on instructor availability, swimmer ability, age, and appropriate group placement.
• Semi-private lessons are prioritized when swimmers can be appropriately matched by age and swim level.
