About

ASWC - Portsmouth has all the facilities and equipment needed for a wide range of watersports and outdoor activities.

The former Portsmouth Watersports Centre offers courses to suit all requirements, experience levels and budgets. The team may even be able to tailor a course to your needs, although you will appreciate that most course need to have minimum number to be viable.

The centre is fully accessible to clients who have physical disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs. Many of the courses offered are suitable for people with disabilities and all staff members have experience of teaching students who have special needs.

ASWC - Portsmouth delivers a full programme of RYA sailing, windsurfing and powerboating courses, a range of paddle sports, outdoor activities and an extensive instructor training programme.

ASWC - Portsmouth will also help fulfil the Andrew Simpson Foundation’s charitable objectives via the delivery of seven flagship Community Sailing Programmes to local disadvantaged young people in Portsmouth. These programmes aim to help young people learn a variety of practical, personal and life skills that will enable them to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of life.

The centre will operate as a not-for-profit watersports centre with proceeds generated from the teaching of sailing and watersports to the public, enabling the Foundation to continue improving the lives of disadvantaged young people.
