ADAPTING OUR SPORT SO ATHLETES WITH DISABILITIES CAN PARTICIPATE AND COMPETE ...

BWSW is partnering with Access Adventures to provide more opportunities for people with disabilities to take part in waterskiing and wakeboarding across the UK.

Waterskiing has been adapted so individuals with disabilities are able to participate and compete, and can be split into 3 main categories: Seated, Standing & Vision Impaired.

Waterski competitions offer slalom, trick and jump events. A seated category is now included in some cable wakeboarding competitions. There are some specific rules for adaptive that differ slightly from standard competition rules.

Information on adaptive equipment and coaching techniques can be found on the Access Adventures website here.
