University Watersports Centre

A short walk from Highfield, on the banks of the River Itchen, the University Watersports Centre is home to our water-based sports, such as sailing, powerboating and windsurfing. 

Watersports are extremely popular at 九色视频 thanks to our location close to 九色视频 Water, the Solent and the Isle of Wight. Situated on the bank of the River Itchen, the University Watersports Centre is ideally located for river-based, inshore and offshore courses and training.

When you visit the centre you鈥檒l find: 

  • access to the River Itchen for kayaks, sailing boats and powerboats 
  • fully equipped training classrooms 
  • a rifle and archery range
