Sand, sun and smiles: Nippers is back!

Woolamai Beach Surf Life Saving Club’s Nippers program is back again this summer, running from December 29 to January 5.

Surf Life Saving is a great activity for growing a child's confidence, knowledge and skills in the beach environment.

Not only will Nippers have fun and meet new friends, they will become part of an iconic organisation that has served the Australian community for over 100 years.

Nippers at Woolamai Beach SLSC is a beach education program that introduces children aged six to 13 years to lifesaving.

The Nippers Education Program is a seven-day intensive program held each year over the Christmas/New Year period.

Delivered at two prominent beaches on Phillip Island – Cleeland Bight Beach and Smiths Beach – Nippers is not a ‘learn to swim program’, it is about children participating in safe, fun and organised activities in a beach environment, whilst developing lifesaving skills for the future.

Activities have been designed to progressively develop the essential skills of Nippers as they move through each age group.

Nippers is a key initiative of the lifesaving movement and its continuous success is of vital importance to the growth of Woolamai Beach SLSC and surf lifesaving.
