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 ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ thanks to our location close to ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ 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’ll find:
access to the River Itchen for kayaks, sailing boats and powerboats
fully equipped training classrooms
a rifle and archery range
