As an official Olympic Training Site, the U.S. National Whitewater Center (USNWC) provides a world class whitewater channel system in an urban setting, allowing athletes to train and compete while still having the opportunity to work or attend school locally.
In addition to Youth Development Programs and Kayak Instruction, the USNWC is an ideal place for elite and aspiring athletes to train. The USNWC provides public water throughout a majority of the year; with late summer through early winter and early spring through early summer being the best times to train. Peak season for commercial activities at the USNWC is June – August, when most of the athletes are in Europe racing on the World Cup Circuit.
Throughout the year, the USNWC provides exclusive (no commercial activities on channels) slalom training sessions and slalom races, the schedules for which are provided below.
March Spring Race – March 30/31
Local Accommodations available at the Hampton Inn Charlotte-Belmont at Montcross.
Coaching is available for training and racing throughout the year. If interested, please contact Pablo at pmccandless@usnwc.org
