Water skiing at Manly Dam which commenced in 1947, with the Manly & Warringah Water Ski Club Limited being formed in 1962 under the direction of the then Minister for Local Government, with the agreement of Warringah and Manly Councils and the Manly & Warringah District Parks Joint Committee.

Since this time the club has produced competitive skiers, and continues to produce Water skiers who participate at State, National and International Levels. The Club consists of a group of skiers who love their sport and endeavour to provide a friendly, safe and family orientated environment.

The Manly & Warringah Water Ski Club is run by volunteers who donate time and effort to maintain the Club's infrastructure, the Water ski Area and the various Administration roles required to operate the Club. If you own a boat and are interested in booking a session to use Manly Dam - please email mwwaterskibookings@gmail.com for information on becoming a registered casual hirer.
