The courses
-----------------
Lee Valley White Water Centre is unique -- it's the only venue of its kind to have two white water courses! Both courses are pump fed from the lake which is filled from an aquifer, guaranteeing clean white water at all times! Floodlit courses allow for evening rafting and canoeing.
The Olympic Standard Competition Course: -
- Challenging grade four rapids
- 300m long white water course, with a 5.5m descent from the start pool to the finish pool
- Five pumps delivering/pumping over 13,000 litres of water per second -- enough to fill a 25m swimming pool in 30 seconds!
The Legacy Loop: -
- Grade three rapids
- 160m long white water course, with a 1.6m descent from the start pool to the finish pool
- Three pumps delivering up to 10,500 litres of water per second -- perfect for paddlers wishing to improve their technique, move from flat water to white water and hone skills required to take on the Olympic course.
