Media Release Policy

Lifeguarding Academy may take photography and videography of the student while in the course for the purpose of social media, marketing, advertising, archiving, and without any limitation, commercial use. The student hereby releases Lifeguarding Academy from all claims in which the Student may have now or in the future for compensation arising out of the participation in the Media. Lifeguarding Academy will use all media respectfully, protecting minors' privacy and personal information by restricting the full names or identifying details of the Student’s without explicit consent. Parents or Legal Guardians can revoke consent by submitting a written request to the Lifeguarding Academy, to which the Lifeguarding Academy will stop using the child’s images in future materials.


Leave Policy

You, as the Parent and/or Legal Guardian, hereby grant consent and permission for your child to leave the premises during the designated break periods, acknowledging that by doing so, the child will not be under any supervision or under the responsibility of the Lifeguarding Academy. It is the sole responsibility of the Parent and/or Legal Guardian to expressly inform Lifeguarding Academy of any considerations that would prohibit the Student from leaving the premises. It is the responsibility of the Parent or Legal Guardian to expressly communicate this to Lifeguarding Academy. Lifeguarding Academy shall not be held responsible for preventing the Student from leaving the premises during the course or scheduled break times. You further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lifeguarding Academy and any of its employees, staff, instructors, or representatives, from any claims, liabilities, or actions arising out of your child's unsupervised departure from the premises. In the event the student should be sick at any time and elect to go home, Lifeguarding Academy will endeavour to notify and contact the Parent or Legal Guardian and seek instructions.


Health and Wellness Policy

It is the sole responsibility of the Parents and/or Legal Guardians to notify Lifeguarding Academy if their child is sick and/or unable to attend the scheduled class. Students with contagious conditions, such as flu, cold, strep throat, or other, should stay home until fully recovered and non-contagious. If a student falls ill during class for any reason, Lifeguarding Academy’s administrative team will be promptly notified, and Lifeguarding Academy will contact the Parents and/or Legal Guardians to inform them of the situation and seek instructions.


Disruptive Behaviour Policy

If a student exhibits disruptive behaviour at Lifeguarding Academy, the student will be immediately removed from the pool or class area and instructed to sit in a designated safe area. Lifeguarding Academy’s administrative team will be promptly notified, and Lifeguarding Academy will contact the Parents and/or Legal Guardians to inform them of the situation. Lifeguarding Academy will not be held responsible for preventing the student from leaving the premises once removed from the class or pool area. An internal record report detailing the disruptive behaviour, actions taken in response, and communication with Parents and/or Legal Guardians will be filed by the instructor or staff member. Such disruption may result in the student's failure to complete the course and result in the forfeiture of any course certification and tuition. This policy ensures the safety and respect of all students and staff, with a focus on accountability and notification to Parent and/or Legal Guardians.
