The National Ability Center's water-skiing program is a unique experience that enables the participant along with family and friends to partake in yet another exhilarating outdoor activity. The water-skiing program is offered in one-day outings or multiple day trips. The outings are offered at Jordanelle Reservoir or Utah Lake. On an outing an individual will participate in a one-hour lesson. Multiple day trips are also offered throughout the summer. The day can include water-skiing, wakeboarding, knee boarding, tubing, water rides, fishing, swimming and other beach activities.

In order to insure quality lessons and water safety, the Center's volunteers attend in-depth adaptive training clinics. Lessons begin with a personalized dry-land fitting and training for each participant. The boats are outfitted with quick releases, booms, two way radios, and are followed by Jet Skis to ensure a safe learning environment. With a wide variety of specialized equipment and teaching methods almost anyone with a disability can learn to water ski.

This program is offered during the summer only.
