"Nippers"
is an activity-based program run to educate young children about surf
safety and awareness when visiting a beach or aquatic environment. The
nipper program also offers the participants the opportunity to meet
a new set of friends whilst they are being challenged in activities
controlled within a learning environment. Through a fun and enjoyable
delivery from our qualified instructors nippers are encouraged to learn
about lifesaving. In addition to gaining vital surf safety and awareness
skills the nippers learn basic carries, first aid and resuscitation
skills. For those nippers interested, the program also introduces the
competitive side of surf lifesaving. The nipper program is held during
the summer period on Sunday mornings from 8-45am to approx 10.30am.
The season usually starts in October after school holidays and lasts
until the Easter school holidays, with a break over the Christmas period.
