Staff Vacancies

Portsmouth Northsea swimming club was founded in 1927 and over the years has gone from a modest start to being one of the leading clubs in south east England, competing and winning medals at county, regional, national and international level.

The Club takes children from learning to swim right through to National competitive squads - currently training over 680 swimmers in over 80 sessions per week, across 4 main pools including the 50m Olympic sized pool located at the Mountbatten Centre.

We take great pride in our work with the local community and our very successful Learn to Swim Programme, run in a number of locations throughout Portsmouth designed to encourage swimmers of all abilities to enter a competitive environment with enjoyment being the main focus.

We compete on the local, regional and national stage and during this time the club has seen members selected for international representation at junior and senior level, including competing at Olympic Games, and has produced two world champions & an MBE.

The club is led by a committee with a fresh vision for Portsmouth Northsea to be a Swimmer Centred, Coach Led, Committee Supported club. We have an ambitious plan to develop the club and take it to the next level.
