WAIVER/Release

DEEP END FITNESS LIABILITY RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT

I hereby affirm that I am aware that underwater breath-holding fitness exercises have inherent risks that may result in serious injury or death.

I understand that breath holding underwater involves certain inherent risks; including but not limited to loss of motor control, unconsciousness, and drowning. I further understand that the breath-holding fitness exercises conducted in open water environments also involve additional inherent risks due to the open water environment; including but not limited to hypothermia, hyperthermia, shore and surf zone injuries, and marine life injuries. I understand that these and other inherent risks may require my rescue and/or medical treatment, which may be hindered or delayed. I still choose to proceed with such underwater breath-holding fitness exercises despite the possible hindrance or delay of rescue and/or medical treatment.

I understand and agree that neither the facility nor the municipality through which I train at, Deep End Fitness, LLC nor its affiliate and subsidiary corporations, nor any of their respective employees, officers, agents, contractors, or assigns (hereinafter referred to as "Released Parties") may be held liable or responsible in any way for any injury, death or other damages to me, my family, estate, heirs or assigns that may occur as a result of my participation in this underwater breath holding fitness exercise program or as a result of the negligence of any party, including the Released Parties, whether passive or active.

In consideration of being allowed to participate in these underwater breath-holding fitness exercise programs, hereinafter referred to as "program," I hereby personally assume all risks of this program, whether foreseen or unforeseen, that may befall me. At the same time, I am a participant in this program, including, but not limited to, the academics, confined water (e.g., pool) and/or open water activities.

The agreeing party hereby acknowledges and agrees to use a partner in accordance with the "buddy system" for all breath work exercises included in this program. It is expressly understood that all breath work workouts in the pool are to be conducted with the presence of a designated partner to ensure safety and proper support throughout the practice. The agreeing party further agrees that under no circumstances shall any breath-holds or underwater movements be conducted alone.

I further release, exempt, and hold harmless said program and Released Parties from any claim or lawsuit by me, my family, estate, heirs, or assigns arising out of my enrollment and participation in this program, including both claims arising during the program, after the program, and/or outside of the program.

I also understand that underwater breath-holding fitness exercises are physically strenuous activities that I will be exerting myself during this program, and that if I am injured as a result of heart attack, panic, hyperventilation, drowning or any other cause, I expressly assume the risk of said injuries and that I will not hold the Released Parties responsible for the same.

I further state that I am of lawful age and legally competent to sign this liability release, or that I have acquired the written consent of my parent or guardian. I understand the terms herein are contractual and not a mere recital, and I have signed this Agreement of my own free act with the knowledge that I hereby agree to waive my legal rights. I further agree that if any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be severed from this Agreement.

The remainder of this Agreement will then be construed as though the unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

I understand and agree that I am giving up my right to sue the Released Parties and any rights my heirs, assigns, or beneficiaries may have to sue the Released Parties resulting from my death. I further represent I have the authority to do so and that my heirs, assigns, or beneficiaries will be stopped from claiming otherwise because of my representations to the Released Parties.

BY THIS INSTRUMENT, I AGREE TO EXEMPT AND RELEASE MY INSTRUCTORS, THE FACILITY OR MUNICIPALITY THROUGH WHICH I RECEIVE MY INSTRUCTION, AND DEEP END FITNESS, LLC AND ALL RELATED ENTITIES AS DEFINED ABOVE, FROM ALL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR WRONGFUL DEATH HOWEVER CAUSED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, WHETHER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE.
