Re: swimming pool liability
From an insurance company. The surest thing is to obtain liability insurance and have the parents pay their share of the premium. Recognize that no form will absolve you totally from liability if you are negligent. A form merely raises the threshold of proof by showing parental awareness and assumption of the apparent risks and thus helps protect against accidents that do not result from your negligence. However, I am not licensed in your state, so you should obtain advice from a local attorney.
