COACHING & COURSES

The National White Water Centre: Canolfan Tryweryn, is a not for profit company owned and operated by Canoe Wales, the National Governing Body for paddlesport in Wales. 


The standard facility fee of £22.00 per day provides the user with access to the facilities at the National White Water Centre, along with as many boat shuttles back to the top of the river as time allows. It also provides the user with 3rd party liability cover for their time on the water.  (Under 18s £15.00).


As National Governing Body "On the Water" membership provides the user with 3rd party liability insurance as one of the benefits of membership, the National White Water Centre is able to provide use of the facilities at a reduced rate: £15.00 per day (under 18s £7.50).


As an additional benefit to Canoe Wales members, Canoe Wales chooses to subsidise the facility fee for it's members thereby further reducing the cost to them: £8.50 (under 18s £7.50).


What does the facility fee cover and how is it spent?  


Use of the facilities at Canolfan Trywern: car parks, toilets, changing rooms and showers, enhanced first aid cover from appropriately qualified first aiders along with boat shuttle from the main centre back to the top of the river.  


Upkeep of the site and buildings, including, footpaths, tree surveys and any subsequent tree work, alongside where possible keeping the river clear of trees.  


Financial support to Canoe Wales to help it with its aim of promoting and progressing paddlesport.  

Latest News & Events

By Bleddyn Lloyd 12 Sep, 2023
During September and October access to the Topsite has been restricted as essential work is carried out on the bridge. For paddlers’ safety during the construction period please only access the river downstream of the bridge. When the Topsite is in use for rescue training recreational paddlers should use the steps downstream of the Chipper, or if no rescue training is in progress it will be possible to paddle the section from the Top Hole to the Chipper without entering the construction area.
By Bleddyn Lloyd 12 Sep, 2023
During September and October Welsh Water will be carrying out essential maintenance work on the Topsite bridge which will affect access to the rescue training site and reduce the area which can be used for training exercises. For the duration of the work it won’t possible to pass under the bridge or access the river upstream of the bridge. It will still possible to get into the lower end of the pool between the bridge and the rapids leading down to The Chipper; training exercises can continue in this section as normal. For the duration of the work only one group will be able to book Top site on any day, and they will be able to carry out some exercises downstream of the Chipper – please discuss this with Centre staff at reception on arrival. Please use the main carpark before you reach the turning circle and keep the access track to bridge clear.
