Document background
The Pool Waiver Form serves as a crucial risk management tool for facilities operating swimming pools in the United States. This document is essential for any organization providing pool access to the public or members, whether in recreational centers, hotels, residential communities, or educational institutions. The form combines several critical elements: liability protection for the facility, clear communication of risks to users, emergency contact information, and acknowledgment of pool rules and safety procedures. It is designed to comply with both federal regulations and state-specific requirements regarding recreational facility waivers, including particular attention to the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act and state-specific premises liability laws. The document should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure continued compliance with evolving legal requirements and safety standards.
