In order to continue to provide training opportunities for Freshie Nippers we need the assistance of nipper parents so please come ready to assist. If we do not have enough water safety and parent helpers, training sessions may be reduced or cancelled. Please refer to Parent Involvement under Nippers on Sundays to see how you may be able to help.
Water Training
Training is available to Nippers in U9's to U14's.
Any registered Nippers wishing to take part in Board or Swim Training must be proficient. Board training will be held on Wednesdays and Saturdays at Freshwater Beach. A designated Swim Training session will be held on Sunday mornings at Freshwater Beach.
All Nippers wanting to take part in any water training must have their name marked off before going into the water and when training finishes. When training in the water all Nippers must wear an orange cap (this will be provided when they have their name marked off).
At the end of training sessions at Freshwater Beach the board must be rinsed with fresh water and returned immediately to the cage.
Land Training
Training is available to Nippers in U8’s to U14’s.
This is a great opportunity for Nippers to learn new skills in all land events.
Parents that are interested in assisting with Land training please contact Rob De Gruchy.
Land training will take place on Saturdays from 3pm to 4pm.
March Past Training
Training is available to Nippers in U9's to U14's.
March Past is one of Surf Life Saving’s original events and represents the traditional discipline of a surf lifesaver. Teams of 12, march in time to music around a set course carrying a surf reel, line and belt and following their standard (flag) bearer. Teams march in formation following commands and they are judged on factors such timing, arm and leg swing, space and dressing (position), body carriage and presentation.
March Past training will be held on Sunday mornings from 8am to 8.30am.
If you are interested in finding out more about Freshwater Nippers March Past please contact Belinda Dobson.
R&R Training
Training is available to Nippers in U11’s to U14’s.
The Rescue and Resuscitation (R&R) competition provides the opportunity for SLSA members to demonstrate in a competitive manner some traditional rescue and resuscitation techniques used in Surf Life Saving.
