It’s good to LEARN as much as you can about SAFETY at the beach. Many Coastie kids (living on the Coast) join Surf EDUCATION & AWARENESS Programs, becoming ‘NIPPERS’ from as young as 5 years of age.

NIPPERS is a program set up by Surf Life Saving Australia, (SLSA) to teach 5 to 13 year olds all there is to know about Surf & Beach SAFETY. . like,

How to SPOT A RIP

CATCHING a Wave (Body Surfing)

Personal development & LEADERSHIP

Self CONFIDENCE & Teamwork

RESCUE & Surf Aid

These young Nippers are the FUTURE of Australian Surf Life Saving, making up 58,000+ of its 153,000 members which continue to grow annualy.

Many a young Nipper will later go on to become one of over 6,800 junior volunteer LIFESAVERS.

Some will carry on further training to careers as PROFESSIONAL Lifeguards, who may one day save YOU..!
