Important note:
One of the documents required for this course is the Medical Statement. Depending on your answers to the questionnaire a physician’s release might be required prior to you getting in the water. It is important to read the form ahead of time so you have plenty of time to set a physician’s appointment if necessary. Click HERE to download the form.
You can learn how to tell if a physician’s release is required by reading the form’s instructions or our FAQ. Don’t worry if you still are unsure whether a signature is required for your form or not, once you sign the course’s paperwork we will contact you about it if needed. Please remember that the physician’s release must be signed by a DO or MD only - signatures from PA-C, NP, etc. cannot be accepted.
