00:00My name is Maya Dunning and today I've been doing the Slalom full course with Brett Hodgkins.
00:04I started about June, July. I got really into it in July because I started with the kids club
00:10but thanks to Steve I got into it from going from private lessons to be able to do it with
00:15other kids. I really, really love Chichester Water Ski Club and I'm sure everyone else would
00:20say the same because it's such a lovely community, everyone's so welcoming, supportive and it's such
00:25a nice atmosphere. Personally I would love to be competing in the able category because I don't
00:30want to just be the best in like the adaptive category, I want to be seen as good in the able
00:35category as well so I can just be seen as equal. It feels almost unreal because in the moment it's
00:41you feel so free and you don't have time to think about anything to worry about because you're
00:47skiing the course, you've got to concentrate so there's no space for you to worry. It's just
00:52amazing, it's unlike anything I've ever experienced. Hi I'm Diane and I'm Maya's mum. It's brilliant,
00:58it's great you know just to see her relaxed and enjoying herself and you know out in the open and
01:04just yeah having fun and and yeah getting on with it really. It was quite emotional the first time
01:09I saw her water ski just because I think she was so you know amazed that she could do it and the
01:15fact that she seems to be doing so well in it is just yeah it's really really proud, proud mum.
