What will my child be doing?

The Surf Life Saving Nipper program includes age and developmentally appropriate activities on the beach and in the water to develop awareness, sun, beach and water safety and physical skills.

Physical activities may include:

  • Wading and swimming

  • Board paddling

  • Beach running and games

  • Resuscitation training

Our Come and Try sessions do not assume any previous knowledge or skill. Group leaders will assess basic competencies and may modify activities to ensure safety, confidence and enjoyment.

When are the Come and Try sessions conducted?

Our schedule below provides the specific times for each age group during our afternoon sessions (Nov-Dec 2024 dates) and morning sessions (Jan dates 2025).

Under 6 and Under 7 participants will complete both Come & Try sessions with their age group during the normal nipper sessions for these age groups.

Under 8 – Under 13 participants will undertake:

  • Session 1 as a separate Come and Try group

  • Session 2 with their age group

This ensures we can assess water confidence and skill level, and provide appropriate activities and water safety supervision.
