SAOR Rules

Hanarry Estates Swim & Racquet Club (“HSRC”) 

Swim At Own Risk (“SAOR”) Waiver, 2022

The HSRC Board of Directors and Committee Chairpersons offer two types of SAOR programs for the HSRC membership households and are outlined in this waiver and herein referred to as “all HSRC SAOR programs”: 

Adult SAOR  &  Family SAOR  

The HSRC Board takes the responsibility for these programs very seriously and reserves the right to cancel any or all of them at any time and for any reason. This waiver is extensive by design and is required to protect HSRC in the event of an accident happening during an HSRC SAOR program. A signature is required by all adult participants to ensure that members recognize the seriousness of participating in SAOR privileges.  

Participants’ HSRC membership must be in good financial standing to participate. The accounting records will be reviewed before the gate key-card access hours are changed to reflect SAOR participation.

Violation(s) of the published SAOR rules may result in loss of participation in the program for the current swim season or disciplinary action for the HSRC member, which could lead to the household-membership being warned, suspended, or terminated. 

SAOR HOURS 

May 1st to September 30th, every day, when lifeguards are not on duty

6:30 am – 10:00 pm:  Adult SAOR
