2009年高雄世界運動會的舉辦讓國內沉寂多時的滑水運動再次受到注意，而2011年引進的纜繩索道系統為滑水運動帶來環保新動力的同時，亦降低參與運動成本，並提高活動安全性，對於該項運動之推展實為一大利多。擁有豐富水域資源的臺灣如何將這在國外擁有3000萬參與人口的水域運動扎根發展，值得有關單位深思。本文由相關文獻資料出發，透過SWOT分析，歸納該項運動在臺灣發展的優勢、劣勢、機會及威脅，並藉以提出：一、適度開放水源保護區；二、結合運動觀光；三、配合學校教育；四、輔導培育專業教練等發展策略建議，期能供國內滑水運動推展參考。

As the cable system introduced in 2011 brought new momentum for eco-friendly development, it also lowered the cost for participating in sports and increased the safety for the activities, which is a huge niche for the promotion of the sport. The authority needs to take into serious consideration about how to make this water sport that attracts 30 million participants develop in Taiwan. Starting from literature reviews and inducing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of this sport in Taiwan, this paper hopes to provide suggestions on promoting the water-skiing via the strategic analysis: (1) to open up the water preservation area appropriately; (2) to tie in with sport tourism; (3) to connect with school education and (4) to nurture professional coach.
