Become a Nipper

Surf Life Saving is a great activity for growing a child’s confidence, knowledge and skills in the beach environment. Not only will your child 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 is a fun way for children aged 5 to Under 14 to enjoy the beach in a safe environment. The Junior Development Program is designed to ensure children have fun at the beach while participating in lessons that will give them a pathway to becoming a fully rounded participant in both lifesaving and sport.

All seven of the FSC Branch Clubs host Nipper Programs, with Pambula, Moruya and Bermagui having Same Wave Programs.

The Same Wave Program caters for people who may have special or additional needs.  It also provides facilities, equipment and volunteers to assist people access the beach.

Volunteers are integral to the successful running of our Same Wave Programs, and we welcome our surf club members, and members from other surf clubs, to help facilitate our programs. A volunteer in-service and program outline is conducted each season.
