Dear Federations and Water-skiers,

 

 

On behalf of the organizing committee of the 2005 IWSF DISABLED WORLD WATER SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS, we would like to welcome all federations and competitors to 

the Schotense Waterski Klub, in Schoten, Belgium.

 

 

The site of the Schotense Waterski Klub has been redesigned to accommodate both the athletes and the spectators, in order to make their stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

 

 

As a host of previous European competitions, our organization takes great pride in our support of the Disabled Water Ski community and in the success of providing these superb athletes with national and international exposure through television, radio and printed press.

The Committee’s goal is to provide the guests with the best facilities and personnel assistance to meet the needs of each team.

 

 

The 2005 IWSF DISABLED WORLD WATER SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS will take place from September 8 to September 11 2005.  We are looking forward to your arrival and to witnessing the performances of the very best disabled water skiers in the World.
