LSWSC members share the common goal of promoting the safety and
enjoyment of watersports. The club has a rich and interesting
history, dating back to 1956 when the first slalom course was installed
on Lake Sammamish, just east of Seattle, Washington. The LSWSC has definitely
evolved and grown over the years, and today has one of the largest active
memberships of any ski club in the country.
In the early years of the LSWSC, members had limited options to
choose from when it came to watersports. Essentially, there was waterskiing and
nothing else. This is certainly no longer the case. There are many watersports
available today, and while its primary focus remains waterskiing, the Lake
Sammamish Waterski Club encourages and actively supports participatation in
wakeboarding, kneeboarding, barefooting, wakeskating, and other activities on
the water.
The Lake Sammamish Waterski Club provides a safe, friendly
environment for its members to enjoy all that the club has to offer. Active
participation at all levels of ability is encouraged and supported. The LSWSC
is a great place to learn slalom skiing and wakeboarding. Some members compete
at the national level and are more than willing to pass on helpful tips and
advice.
