MAWS is a division of the Southwest Wheelchair Athletic Association, based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
They are a non-profit, volunteer driven organization dedicated to providing opportunities for persons with all types of disabilities to experience water sports.

Local volunteers assisted the skiers in and out of the water as needed.
