NSW Disabled Water Skiing was successful in receiving funds under the Local Sport Defibrillator Program Grant to buy a Defibrillator. We would like to acknowledge that this grant was proudly funded by the NSW Government.

The defibrillator will allow us to continue to deliver a safe water skiing environment for our Disabled Skiers.

WE ARE BACK AT GRILL’D

We’ve been selected to participate in Local Matters at Grill’d Miranda during MARCH 2019!

 
Local Matters is the Grill’d community donation program that sees each Grill’d restaurant donate $500 back into the community every month. The donation is split between 3 local community groups $300 / $100 / $100.

HOW YOU CAN HELP?
We’d love your support in receiving the highest $300 donation! Simply head to Grill’d Miranda during JUNE for a burger and pop your Local Matters token in our jar. The group with the most tokens at the end of the month receives the largest donation. So organise a group of family / friends & make a fun night out or lunch at GRILL’D @ MIRANDA.

It’s a simple (and delicious) way to show your support!

You’ll find us on a jar at Grill’d Miranda, Westfield Miranda Level 4, Restaurant Precinct 600 Kingsway Miranda

The  2019 World Disabled Water Ski Titles will be held at  SIAP, Skarnes in Norway from 22nd to 28th July 2019

Anyone can enjoy water skiing – it’s a sport that allows you to set your own pace. It’s also a flexible and inclusive sport, and a highly social one. This is why it can be hugely beneficial for people who are deaf or have hearing loss.

We recently contributed to a blog article for hearing aid brand Connect Hearing to highlight the benefits to the hard of hearing of taking part in sport. Many people with hearing difficulties experience social isolation. Sport can be part of the solution. Water skiing in particular is a great alternative sport that can be enjoyed by participants of all ability levels. We certainly welcome members of the deaf and hard communities to take part.

The benefits of water skiing

Water skiing will improve your physical fitness and confidence, but at a pace you choose. The boat can tow you slowly. Then, as you become more comfortable on your skis, you can pick up the pace and try crossing and jumping the wake. It also gives you the chance to mix with other water skiers and to meet people who enjoy the same things you do.

‘Don’t Let Hearing Loss Stop You From Being Active’

We have specialist instructors who can communicate with you using hand signals, or you can use a special helmet that allows you to hear instructions more clearly. We will always make provisions for skiers with hard loss and we’re really hoping you’ll come and give water skiing a try.
