Formed in 1981, the Missouri Water Ski Federation is the governing
body for competitive water skiing in Missouri. The Federation includes
an elected governing body, officials, committees and members whom
are skiers, non-skiers, families, kids, college students and adults
that are water skiing enthusiasts. The MWSF is part of the Midwest
Region of USA Water Ski. The MWSF consistently has a group of skiers
that compete in the Midwest Region and National Water Ski tournaments.
Our Purpose
The purpose of the Missouri Water Ski Federation is to promote the sport of water skiing (slalom, trick and jump), water safety, good sportsmanship, to oppose legislation that is adverse to skiers and boat owners, to develop a fraternal spirit between club members, to be a source of information and to assist in things which tend to further the interests of the people of Missouri in water skiing. The MWSF fulfills its purpose by holding regular meetings of the Board of Directors, an annual Membership meeting and by assisting with the planning of both skier and official’s clinics and tournaments.
