Should my child advance to the Meet of Champs I understand I will need to volunteer at the meet. Volunteer sign up will be released in June prior to meet.

I/We hereby give approval for the participation of my child (children) in any and all swim team activities on the Swim Team, and I/we assume all risk and hazards incident to such participation including transportation to and from said activities, and waive, release, absolve, indemnify and agree to hold harmless the Memorial-Spring Branch Swimming Conference Inc., its Members, all participating teams, officers, organizers, coaches, supervisors, directors, volunteers, participants, and persons or parents involved in any way, including transporting participants to and from such activities, from claims arising out of injury to my/our child, and/or damages to or loss of property. 

I/We acknowledge that I/We understand that there is currently no way to guarantee the prevention of the spread of COVID-19. I/We are voluntarily choosing to participate in the Memorial Spring Branch Swimming Conference, Inc. and understand the risks associated with the usage of public facilities. I/We agree to abide by governmental guidelines regarding personal health monitoring, social distancing, and group size as well as directives of lifeguards and pool management. I/We hereby release and hold harmless MSBSC from any and all liability arising from COVID-19 illness or injury arising from swimming activities. 

I/We also certify that my/our child has not violated Memorial-Spring Branch Swimming Conference Inc. eligibility rules by training or competing with a USA swim team or organization or YMCA swim team or organization after March 9th of the current swim season. 

I/We understand that any violation of this eligibility rule will result in my/our child being ineligible for this league for one year and the forfeiting of each meet in which he/she competed for the aforementioned swim club.

I/We confirm that I/we have read the Memorial-Spring Branch Swimming Conference, Inc. Sportsmanship Policy and agree to follow the policy by promoting good sportsmanship.

I agree to sign-up online for the required 6 regular season volunteer points per family. 

If I fail to complete the required 6 points, I acknowledge I will be charged a non-prorated fee of $300 to the credit card on file on June 30, 2025.

I understand that my child must be able to swim half way across the pool at the onset of the season, or my child may not be able to continue participation on the swim team and/or swim meets.

Child must be comfortable putting face in the water, blowing bubbles, interacting with teen coaches, etc. Half lappers must be able to swim half a lap already and the full length of the pool with a coach beside them during the half lapper assessment.  More info on the half lapper policy can be found at https://www.sherwoodoaksswimteam.com/age-group-policies

Swimmers are expected to follow directions from all coaches, including teen coaches. This is for safety of all the swimmers in the water, and also to ensure everyone gets the attention they deserve during practice. Swimmers who do not follow directions from coaches will be given a verbal warning once, and if they do not change their behavior after one verbal warning will be asked to take a break out of the pool for 5 minutes. If the behavior is not corrected, the swimmer will be asked to sit with their parents for the remainder of the practice. Three instances of being excused from practice will result in removal from the team.
