By visiting Coral Cove Water Park, you agree to abide by the facility and park district rules, guidelines, and code of conduct and agree to and understand the following important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Carol Stream Park District is committed to providing safe aquatic facilities and programs and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Carol Stream Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors engaged in aquatic activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury.

You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward is physically fit and/or adequately skilled for the activities associated with this Pool Pass/Aquatic Program. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical/aquatic activity.

Please understand and recognize that lifeguards are not responsible for providing supervision or assessing your swimming skills or that of your minor child; rather, lifeguards are responsible for enforcing safety rules and responding to emergencies. Adult pool pass holders and parents of minor pool pass holders are solely responsible for supervision of any and all activities contemplated by this agreement. Additionally, children 8 years of age and younger must be supervised at all times by a responsible person, 16 years of age or older.

NEVER LEAVE ANY CHILD WITH POOR SWIMMING SKILLS OR 8 YEARS OF AGE AND YOUNGER UNACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR RESPONSIBLE PERSON, 16 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER.

WARNING OF RISK
Swimming and other aquatic activities challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. However, despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury, including but not limited to drowning, head/brain injury, and spinal cord injury. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. The very nature of swimming and aquatic activities are hazardous and risky, including but not limited to fatigue and overexertion, poor swimming skills, failing to avoid dangerous areas, failing to follow rules and regulations, failure of lifeguards to locate victims and/or delay in emergency response time, horseplay, diving or cannon-balling into shallow water and striking the bottom or side of the pool or waterslide, inadequate supervision or instruction, lack of conditioning, becoming disoriented, striking other swimmers, striking one?s head on the bottom, slip and falls on the deck or within the locker facility, chemical exposure and all other circumstances inherent to aquatic activities. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Carol Stream Park District to guarantee absolute safety.
