Swim year round at Lee Valley White Water Centre, featuring top tier facilities, accessible changing rooms and cosy cafes. After your swim, warm up at Brew Street Kitchen and Bar or soak up the sun at Tavener on The Terrace in summer.
Before you swim
Sessions are open to all swimmers and can be pre-booked up to seven days in advance.
Book your session via the Lee Valley White Water Centre page on the Better app or online to secure your spot.
Swimmers must wear a bright-colored swim hat (excluding black); juniors require a green hat. Wetsuits are recommended, a tow float is mandatory for all. Both, along with swim hats, are available for purchase at reception, and wetsuits can also be hired and we have a stock of Tow floats that can be borrowed.
