His competitive spirit was evident from the start, as he refused to be the last child to try water skiing at a party hosted by his parents. This determination led him to compete in his first event at age 9, represent Canada at age 14, and turn professional at age 18, choosing water skiing over a potential career in ice hockey.  Llewellyn's induction into the IWWF International Hall of Fame is a testament to his enduring impact on water skiing. His remarkable career,  spanning decades of competition at the highest level, has inspired countless athletes and contributed to the growth and popularity of water skiing worldwide.  The waterskiing community celebrates Jaret Llewellyn's extraordinary achievements and welcomes him as a distinguished IWWF International Hall of Fame member.
