Thanks and we'll see you in the water!

Notes on confidentiality & minors

GENERAL PROCESS & PRIVACY
This is a confidential application required by Water World Swim, LLC, and by the local authorities where the applicable swim(s) will take place.

After being reviewed and approved by a WWS coaching team, it will be submitted to the authorities of the country where the swim(s) will take place.

After the reviewing and final approval, those authorities will approve also the necessary support to the swim(s).

Water World Swim, LLC is committed to being a leader in internet and information privacy. As such, we will not share any personally identifying information with any third party outside of applicable authorities for which this application is intended. We may use some information for internal statistical analysis, but never anything personally identifiable.

MINORS - ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION
If the swimmer applying to any of these swims is a minor under 18 years old, all documentation must be accompanied by a letter from a parent or guardian authorizing their child to swim in dangerous, high risk waters and acknowledging their risks. Parents must include with this application a photocopy of valid government-issued ID for the minor, a letter of recommendation by a Certified Coach with a valid and recognized swimming association license, and hospital or medical insurance.

An authorized family or relative must travel with the minor. If a coach or coaches are authorized to travel with the minor they must carry written legal authorization signed by the parents and a signed Non-Fault Harmless Waiver at all times.
