Except as disclosed on this form, I do not suffer from any condition, injury or ailment that would prevent me from fully participating in rowing activities, or put me at risk of injury or harm if I were to participate in any rowing related activities. I will immediately notify the Program in writing if this changes.

I confirm I can swim 100 metres in rowing clothes, or, if I have any difficulty in doing so, that and the reason(s) for any difficulty are fully set out in this form.
I consent to the Program collecting, using, retaining and disseminating my personal information (including contact details and photographs) in accordance with its privacy policy, which I have read and understood.

This insurance cover is provided by Rowing NSW for its members, as detailed on their website. I understand that to obtain this insurance cover I must register as a member of Rowing NSW, and of a club / school in NSW or another state or territory within Australia.
In consideration for the Program’s acceptance of my membership, I, including any heirs, executors and administrators (or any other person claiming through or under me), hereby release from, indemnify and waive any and all claim, right, cause of action or suit (including for negligence and gross negligence) (‘Claim’) against the Balmain Para-Rowing Program Inc., its agents, employees, volunteers, coaches, office-bearers or members of the board, or any other person or entity acting with the authority of any of those entities, arising out of or related to any injury, loss of life or damage to property which I may suffer or sustain, or cause to any third party, as a result (either directly or indirectly) of my membership with, or participation in any activity arranged by Balmain Para-Rowing Program Inc.
I understand this release, waiver and indemnity involves a release of significant legal rights and nevertheless agree to be bound by its terms.
