The very nature of aquatic sports is hazardous, including but not limited to fatigue, horseplay in and around the pool area, slipping or falling on the deck or within the locker room facilities and all other circumstances inherent to the sports of swimming and diving. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Lower Moreland Lightning to guarantee absolute safety.
