Nippers Program Dates

Our Sunday Program

A typical Nippers day begins with sign-on and announcements at the Clubhouse. Then down to the beach for a warm-up and signals practice. Then, in rotation by age group, the children participate in variations of flags, sprints, board /bodyboard paddling and swims/ wades, all designed to be fun and develop skills to become competent lifesavers. The program targets specific activities designed to teach surf safety relative to the needs of each age group and may include some surf sports skills to prepare for surf carnivals.

Children are not taught to swim at Nippers – we recommend that children attend pool swimming lessons to develop their strength and confidence. Surf swim training focuses on negotiating waves, rips and sweeps and learning to understand surf conditions at Peregian Beach.

Sessions are followed by the traditional sausage sizzle “on the green” near the Clubhouse on Market Days, put on by our wonderful volunteers. If you would like to mingle with your fellow Nippers families, bring some spare change, grab a Bacon & Egg burger and kick-back.

This is a great way to meet other families and members of the Club.

Nippers Uniform 

For safety, Nippers are required to wear the appropriate Age-relevant Cap and a Hi-Vis Long-Sleeved Pink Rashie Shirt/ or Hi-Vis Pink Singlet. Our U13 – U14 age groups wear the Peregian competition lycra cap at all sessions. This not only encourages a sense of belonging in the children to their age group, but it also makes identification on a busy beach much easier for all Nippers volunteers!

We encourage our members to wear Peregian Beach SLSC swim wear which is available to purchase from the Club Apparel Pop-Up Shop however it is not compulsory.

Children may wear a wet-suit or thermal rashie beneath their hi-vis uniform if they feel the cold.
