Since its formation in 1976, the University of Texas Water Ski Team has been an active three-event competitive team. We are considered a club sport by the University, and we have proven our ability to consistently compete with the very best NCWSA sanctioned water ski teams across the nation. The three events we compete in are slalom, trick, and jump. The University of Texas Water Ski Team competes in the South Central Conference of the National Collegiate Water Ski Association, which includes schools from across Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

The University of Texas Water Ski team hosts its annual tournament, The Fall Classic, in early September and travels to compete in at least five other tournaments each year. We are comprised of between 30 and 50 members ranging in ability from beginner slalomer to advanced competition skier. The top 5 men and women skiers in each of the three events are considered the A-team. The remaining skiers in each category are considered our B-team. Over the course of its existence, the team has competed in 13 national championships with the best finish being 5th in 1982.

We finished the 2007 season by placing 9^th in Division 1 at Nationals. The top three teams from each region compete in Division 1, and the next 2 compete in Division 2. After earning a 3rd place victory, we were able earn the third South Central Region spot and go on to the Division 1 National Championships.
