New South Wales Water Ski Federation – Disabled Division is a Water Ski program open to all ages with various physical disabilities or vision impairments.
Our Water Skiing program operates between October – April.
We try to hold 6 open Ski days during the Water Ski season, where people with disabilities can Come n Try or develop their water skiing skills.
We also hold training days where those skiers who are serious about the sport, can train with a coach or professional skier. Skiers who wish to take it to the next level can possibly go on to compete in State, National & World Titles.
We hold a pool of various modified sit skis & other equipment including life jackets, ski ropes & handles that are available to be used by the skiers.
Our Water Ski Days are usually held at NSW Waterski Gardens (Wisemans Ferry) or at St George Rowing Club (Cooks River) or at Manly Dam. We have also recently started holding Ski Days on the Molonglo River in Canberra and on the Tweed River.
It is a great alternative sport that can operate on different levels, depending on the skier. The skier can enjoy the experience of being towed behind the boat at a low speed or, they can experience a faster speed, crossing & jumping the wake. It is totally up to the skier!!
We are a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers.
