There is no checklist or set rules for setting up a club or facility, whether it be a voluntary organisation or commercial centre (Ski/wake school or cable park). However, British Water Ski & Wakeboard can offer advice, support and skills through its network. You may face a number of issues with regards to planning applications, health and safety, insurance and environmental issues to name a few. BWSW can help to make these issues seem more manageable on your way to setting up a new club or facility.

BWSW has a small Development team who can assist new clubs and facilities with all the complexities of starting up. We offer a consultancy service for non members backed by the knowledge and reputation of a national sports governing body. For affiliated clubs/centres, there is the opportunity to access our development resources and support for free.
