Nippers is a great way to spend a Sunday morning at the beach. It offers a fun and active lifestyle choice for children between the ages of 5-14, as well as a solid base for competition in surf sport activities. Our aim is to provide an opportunity to learn more about the beach and the surf in a safe and enjoyable environment and encourage the next generation of young lifesavers. Important dates can be found on our season calendar. - Pool Evaluation
All Nippers in the Under 6 to 14 Age Groups must undertake a swim proficiency
each year. Unfortunately, the children will be not be able to participate in nippers until this has been completed.
