History of our Team

The Clemson Water Ski Team was established in 1984.  What was then just a small group of water skiing enthusiasts looking for fellow skiers to practice and compete with has turned into one of collegiate water skiing’s most consistent national competitors. Clemson has participated in the Collegiate Nationals almost every year since the birth of the team.  The highest national placement for the team occurred in 1991 when Clemson took home an impressive 3rd place.
