The club says it warmly welcomes new members. For sailing specifically, the racing section says crews and boats of all experience levels are welcome, existing boats often have crew spaces, and someone entirely new can get in touch to be connected with skippers. It also says friendly guidance is available and that experienced crew can usually help if someone is new to racing.
Training· Unclear
The official site links to the Royal Yachting Association and says the club is affiliated to the RYA on the membership application form, but I found no current official page confirming sailing training, RYA sailing courses, or beginner sailing courses at SYSAC. The site does describe BSAC diver training, but that is diving rather than sailing.
Swansea Yacht & Sub-Aqua Club is a Pockett's Wharf club with yachting/racing, marina berths, boatyard facilities, diving and social boating on the River Tawe and Swansea Bay.
I found evidence of frequent Try-Dives for the diving section, usually in February and September, and occasional try dive events on the Our Club page. I did not find current official evidence of sailing taster sessions, sailing open days, or sailing-specific try-it events.
The published club fees include a Cadet membership category for ages 10 to 16 and a Student member category for ages 16+ in full-time education. The membership application form includes family details for joint membership and has tick boxes for Cadet, Student, Full, Social, and Joint membership. I found no separate current sailing junior programme details.
Access· Unclear
I found contact details and general facility information, but no current official information about disabled access, step-free access, adapted sailing, accessibility support, or access-needs arrangements.

Official site says SYSAC is a friendly members' club welcoming new members, with yachting/racing, diving, fishing, ladies and berth-holder sections. Go Sail describes approximately 450 members, a members-only marina, boat yard and lifting facilities.
I found evidence that the club marina is home to members' boats and that race skippers may have crew spaces, but no current official evidence that SYSAC offers sailing boat hire, club sailing boats, or dinghy/yacht hire for beginners. Diving RIBs and diving training equipment are mentioned, but not sailing boat hire.
