Willa McGuire Cook Willa McGuire Cook (born Lake Oswego, Oregon 1928, died DeLand, Florida 21 April 2017]] was the winner of 18 national titles in water skiing. She was the first freestyle water skier, and had a unique and creative approach to her sport. In the 1950s, Cook invented swivel skiing, a style of water skiing that became hugely successful around the world, which combines the moves of ballet with water skiing by using swivel bindings on the ski. Today there is a trophy in her name, which is awarded to the best female performer at the National Water Ski Show Tournament each year.
