Ascension has various sandy beaches, English Bay, Comfortless Cove, Long Beach, North East Bay, Pan Am Beach etc. You can swim at most of these places but be very careful of the undertow at certain places. Ask around to locals about which places are safest to swim/dive/snorkel.
Also at the right time of year you can go to the beaches at night to see the Green Turtles come in from Brazil to lay their eggs. (please speak to the conservation office about Turtle Tours).

well they said to me, if you don't like drinking or fishing then you might not aswell be on the island lol.

There are loads of fishing spots to go to, from the Pierhead, to the rocks on the sea.

There are always different sports going on football, volleyball, raquetball, softball, gym, walking, running, cycling, hashing/trekking, swimming(pool and sea).

Dancing, Pool, Snooker, Darts, card games are done at the clubs

Visit the beaches, from English Bay the more public beach, to Comfortless Cove, a more private beach (and the only topless one) to Trekking over the edges to get to North East, where you'll find blowholes.

visit, the hsops, the cafes, the heritage museum, Green Mountain

Plus many more.
