Southampton Water Activities Centre (SWAC) is a busy RYA training centre located north of Southampton’s Ocean Village, with quick access to some of the best training and cruising areas on the south coast. We are situated at the base of the Itchen Bridge and have immediate access to the River Itchen and Southampton Waters.

The centre runs a range of watersports experiences alongside a wide variety of sailing, powerboating, windsurfing, paddleboarding, sail foiling, and specialist one day courses.

SWAC is part of Active Nation, a national sport and exercise charity on a mission to persuade the nation to be active. Our people are instrumental in our charity fulfilling its objectives. We believe everything in life starts with a conversation; and getting into sport and exercise is no different. So if you are brilliant, remarkable and a great conversation list…we need to hear from you!

Some of the benefits of working for Active Nation include: 

• Use of facilities within the Charity, including Skiing and Snowboarding, Sailing, Gym and Swim
• Access to clothing & equipment trade accounts 
• NGB and centre specific training 

Active Nation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All posts will be subject to an Enhanced CRB disclosure.
