companies that provided these services directly. Airline<br />

tickets and hotel accommodations are subject to all terms<br />

but are not limited to bodily injury, sickness, disease<br />

or death from using the swimming pool or body of<br />

water. Participants also acknowledge and understand<br />

that use of the swimming pool or body of water by the<br />

participants is potentially dangerous and that the type of<br />

injury or damage described above can occur when using<br />

the swimming pool or body of water. PARTICIPANTS<br />

damage, directly with the claimant. ARBITRATION: Any<br />
