Some of the objectives of the NSW Water Ski Federation
are:
-
Promotion of the sport of Water Skiing in NSW
and throughout Australia
-
Help to develop a high standard of Water Skiing,
through training days, come and try days and development
of Water Ski coaches
-
Enable members to compete in Water Ski competitions,
and to represent NSW in national competition and
to represent Australia in World Titles.
-
Facilitate government, commercial and public recognition
of Water Skiing, by providing a point of contact
to represent the interests of Water Skiers in
NSW
In
conjunction with the Australian Water Ski Federation,
the Wakeboard, Tournament and Barefoot Divisions operate
regular competition in their respective discipline.
These days are a lot of fun for anyone that wants
to become more serious about their sport. Each Division
also operates training and “come and try days”,
where you can learn some of the skills, or get more
information about becoming involved. For more information,

The
NSW Water Ski Federation also organises the annual
Bridge to Bridge Ski
Race, one of the longest running, and most prestigious
ski racing events in the Southern Hemisphere. This
race is conducted each November, and runs for some
112km on the Hawkesbury River, from mouth of the River
to Windsor in Western Sydney.
The Federation also owns the NSW
Ski Gardens, a Holiday Park situated on the Hawkesbury
River at Wisemans Ferry. The NSW Ski Gardens offers
a location for Water Skiers to launch their boat,
use the river frontage to ski from and relax in the
picnic and camping grounds.
Water
Ski Coaches can receive training and Australian Sports
Commission coach accreditation, through the courses
conducted by the NSW Water Ski Federation. These courses
cover general coaching principles and all aspects
of Water Skiing. More information can be requested
from our Feedback page.
