About

We aim to promote an interest in Surf Lifesaving activities. We teach children water, beach and surf safety and encourage them through activities focused on fun, participation and competition.

Nippers is an activity-based program run to educate young children about surf safety and awareness when visiting a beach.  All activities are designed to provide age and experience appropriate challenges.

The Nipper program is held during the summer period on Sunday mornings, starting mid October and running through to late March, with a short break over the Christmas and New Year period.

View our Nippers Yearbook from the 2022/2023 Season to see just how much fun we had last season and we cant wait to do it all again!
