The club is clearly sign posted from the main road and is now
fully accessible for disabled waterskiers.
The disabled waterskiing side of the club has many facets. We
are part of the British Disabled Water Ski Association (BDWSA)
and the South West centre for waterskiing for the disabled. As
such we provide the perfect environment for you to realise that
you can waterski even with disabilities.
Our disabled skiers cover many different disabilities with some
having limb disabilities and other have sight or learning difficulties.
This does not stop them and with the help of our wonderful disabled
helpers they are able to accomplish what they previously thought
unattainable. Some of our disabled waterskiers have excelled in
competitions at National, European and World levels.
The club can accommodate disabled waterskiers (who do not require
assistance) at any time and we have a wide range of equipment
and wetsuits / drysuits that are available for use. Those who
do require assistance or instruction can ski by prior arrangement
with the BDWSA (SW), contact details given below If you have a
disability then it is best to start out on one of our beginners
days.
If you are able bodied and would like to help on these days then
we are always looking for extra assistance - and you don't need
to be able to waterski or even get wet if you don't want to!
