canada’s home for three event skiing

Slalom

In slalom, the contestant navigates a zigzag course of six buoys. The boat speed increases or the rope length shortens, making each pass more challenging. The winner is the one who runs the most buoys before a missed buoy or a fall.

Since 1978 McClintock's Water Ski School has been proudly established as Canada's ultimate destination for three-event water skiing. As the official tournament training facility of the Ontario Water Ski Team, we boast a rich legacy of success in nurturing athletes across slalom, trick, and jump events. Our exceptional facility sets us apart, featuring multiple slalom courses, trick boats, and a jump ramp—a rare combination that provides our skiers with unparalleled resources to excel in every aspect of competitive water skiing.

trick

In trick, the contestant performs two, 20-second routines of tricks that each have an assigned point value. Some of the most difficult tricks include wake flips, and multiple turns performed with the towrope attached to the contestant’s foot.

jump

In jump, the objective is distance. Skiers whip themselves towards the ramp using the pendulum swing from the boat. The best jumpers approach speeds of 100 kph at the base of the jump ramp with the max boat speed of 57 kph for men and 54 kpm for women.

frequently asked questions

  • Although both include highly personalized lessons, competitive camps are much more technically involved and are designed specifically for tournament preparation and introduction to additional events like trick or jump.

  • Due to high demand we ask that all registrants for competitive camp be actively competing or about to enter the same season they are in camp. If you have never competed before we ask that you register for a recreational camp first so we can assess your skills and tournament readiness.

  • As the home of the Ontario Team we are ready and willing to help guide you every step of the way. To enter your first tournament you will be required to hold an active membership with WSWC and register for events through their membership platform.

  • We have a bunkhouse available on site for competitive athletes aged 12+. The bunkhouse is supervised by staff members who live there throughout the summer, but kids are responsible for their own breakfasts and lunches daily. For availability and pricing please email us.
