Juniors

If you’re think­ing of intro­duc­ing your child to surf life sav­ing, then nip­pers is the best place to do so. Nip­pers is open to chil­dren from the age of 6 through to 13 years old. The nip­pers pro­gram runs from Octo­ber to March on Sun­day morn­ings from 9am to 11am. View the cal­en­dar for what is on and com­ing up, or down­load this PDF ver­sion.

Surf life sav­ing is an amaz­ing activ­ity for grow­ing a child’s con­fi­dence, knowl­edge and skills in the beach envi­ron­ment. Not only will your child have fun and meet new friends they will become part of an iconic organ­i­sa­tion that has served the Aus­tralian com­mu­nity for over 100 years.

Objec­tives for Junior Development
