Virginia State statute does not set a specific age at which a minor (defined by Virginia as under the age of 18) may legally be left unsupervised. Legal guardians shall be liable for all minors left unsupervised at the pool (“Unsupervised Minors”). For guidance on who may be left unsupervised under the law, please consult section 2.4.2.2 of the Child & Family Services Manual detailing “Inadequate Supervision.” As minors cannot enter contracts or consent to risk, no guests that qualify as Unsupervised Minors (“Unsupervised Minor Guests”) may attend the pool without an Unsupervised Minor Guest Form.

Unsupervised Minor

The minor listed above is in my legal care and has my permission to swim as a guest at The Rutland Foundation pool without supervision. Legal guardians shall be liable for all minors left unsupervised at the pool (“Unsupervised Minors”) as it pertains to all state statutes. For guidance on who may be left unsupervised under the law, please consult section 2.4.2.2 of the Child & Family Services Manual detailing “Inadequate Supervision.” The above minor and legal guardian jointly accept all responsibility for the minor’s behavior and will ensure compliance with all of the pool rules and regulations of The Rutland Foundation. It is also understood that the manager and/or lifeguards on duty are fully authorized to enforce all rules and regulations and may temporarily suspend pool usage as they deem necessary.
