14.1. Nippers

Nippers is a junior activities program that introduces children aged 5 to 14 to Surf Life Saving. It’s a great way for children to make friends, be active and learn how to enjoy the beach safely. Nippers first learn about surf awareness and safety. As they progress through the various age groups, nippers will undergo lessons in wading, running, ocean swimming, board paddling and lifesaving skills as well as learning the basics of resuscitation and first aid.

The Nippers programme is delivered by one of the individual surf lifesaving clubs located around the country. in branches excluding North Queensland nippers runs from October to March, and usually on a Sunday morning but this does vary from club to club so check your local club for details.
