Nippers

What is Nippers?

Nippers is the term given to the junior lifesavers aged between 7 and 14 years.  Nippers is an activity based program that is designed to educate young children about surf safety and awareness of the aquatic environment.  Most Surf Life Saving Clubs offer a program of surf awareness, skills coaching and competition over various levels, similar (though modified) to the events Australian Surf Life Savers Participate in.  While competition is an important element, surf awareness and education is the primary aim.  Children are taught from the youngest ages how to respect, read and use the surf to their advantage.  This is competed in an environment of fun and healthy lifestyle which is unique to Surf Life Saving.
