Risks of paddling

I understand that dragon boating involves physical effort and that conditions on Lake Jindabyne can change. Risks include slipping while launching or boarding, being struck by a paddle or boat, muscle strain, sudden wind or waves, and falling into cold water or capsizing. These risks can result in injury, cold shock, hypothermia or drowning. I understand these risks and choose to take part.

Safety briefing and participation

I will attend the safety briefing, wear my fitted life jacket as directed, and follow the coach’s and sweep’s instructions on shore and on the water. Before boarding, I will speak privately with a club official about anything that may affect my safety, including swimming ability, an injury, a medical condition or any support I need. I will tell the crew if I feel unwell or need to stop.

Emergency assistance

If needed, I agree that club officials may provide first aid, call emergency services and contact the person named above. They may share relevant information with emergency responders.

Signatures

I have read this form or had it explained to me and had a chance to ask questions.
