Winter Garden Water Ski has been my primary training site for the past 10 years, and I truly can't imagine my journey through the sport without Drew and Andrew. Their technical expertise is unmatched, and every element from the pristine lake, to the boat, and the driving conditions is dialed in to make Winter Garden Water Ski the best place to train and grow as a skier. What truly sets it apart though, is the support and personal investment. Whether it's on the water, on the dock, or at tournaments, I've felt encouraged and backed every step of the way - not just as a skier, but in every aspect of my development as an athlete and person. Being at WGWS doesn't just feel like training at a world class ski site, it feels like being part of a family.

Winter Garden Waterski is truly world class. From the moment you arrive, it feels like stepping into a beautiful waterski oasis. The facility is second to none in Florida, and every detail reflects excellence. The boats are always perfectly dialed in with the latest and greatest equipment. The coaching is equally exceptional. Andrew and Drew bring a wealth of knowledge in slalom technique and have an incredible ability to identify the next stepping stone that creates immediate progress. With them, I never feel like I'm going backwards to go forwards. The only path is constant improvement. They have an intuitive sense of exactly what I need in each moment, whether it's a mental shift, a big picture concept, or a small technical adjustment. They know when to bring positivity, when to challenge, and when to push. While the atmosphere is competitive, intense, and truly elite, it is always balanced with lightness, laughter, and fun. The dock vibe is relaxed, welcoming, and supportive, making it an amazing place to train, grow, and enjoy the sport.
