Hydrospeed at Parc Olímpic del Segre, La Seu d'Urgell

Context Hydrospeed at Parc Olímpic del Segre takes place in an Olympic facility originally built for the 1992 Barcelona Games, located just 200 meters from the historic center of La Seu d'Urgell. This 300-meter wild water channel features a mechanical towing system and a small electric power station that regulates water flow, enabling safe year-round use. The continuous flow of cold mountain water creates a controlled environment ideal for hydrospeed, offering a consistent and secure experience.

The Experience The session begins with a safety briefing and equipment distribution: neoprene suit, helmet, life jacket, and hydrospeed board. After practicing basic maneuvers in calm waters, participants enter the channel to glide through the regulated rapids, feeling the power and speed of the current while steering the board. The powerful sound of rushing water and direct contact with cold mountain water create a vivid sensory experience, all under constant supervision by certified instructors.

For Whom Recommended for adults over 18 with good physical fitness and swimming ability. Ideal for those seeking a safe, controlled hydrospeed experience with expert guidance. Not suitable for beginners without swimming skills or individuals with physical limitations that affect board control.
