Coasteering 

Acknowledgement of Risk

To be read by each group member and signed overleaf 

 

(Over 18’s sign for minors in their care)

 

Coasteering involves exploring a rocky coastline, swimming in moving water, scrambling, jumping from height and entering caves. 

 

The sea is a dynamic environment and conditions can change. Land & Wave Instructors continually monitor swell and tides before and during your sessions.

 

You will be required to swim and move around in breaking waves and water with currents. It is important that you have Water Confidence, understand what you will be doing and are able to swim at least 25m.

 

Your session may be cut short or cancelled at any point if the instructor deems it inappropriate for any individual's ability. 

 

You will be involved throughout the activity in the decision making process. If you feel overwhelmed or unwell at any point you MUST tell your instructor who will be able to react accordingly.

 

We recognise that coasteering is an activity with the danger of personal injury or death. You need to be aware of and accept these risks. You are responsible for your own actions and involvement.

 

Please follow my instructions at all times.

 

You must tell your instructor now about any health issues which may impact your participation such as;

 

  • Asthma
  • Severe Allergies
  • Mobility Issues 
  • Heart or respiratory issues
  • Mental Health Concerns
  • previous medical issues we should be aware of  (Surgeries) 
  • Or anything else that will impact the activity described above

 

Inhalers, epipens or any required medication must be carried on your activity.
