GO MOCS! If you are familiar with college skiing, you must have heard “Go Mocs!” at the lake sometimes. The Mocs represent the athletic team of Florida Southern College (FSC) located in Lakeland, Florida. This college

for

many

reasons. It is only an hour from Orlando and Lake County, the world epicenter of water skiing. The facilities are awesome. The college is basically built around the training lake, Lake Hollingsworth. Lakeland is also a great place to live, offering everything you need while being a student.

Franc,

Thibaut

and

Tanguy

Dailland, Marion Mathieu, Clementine Lucine, K.C. Wilson, Manon Costard, Paige Rini, Jamie Calhoun, and Cole McCormick. FSC has a strong sports tradition and water skiing is fully part of it.
