The School Term Nipper Program is designed to allow families who cannot attend during the summer holidays, to take part in a Nipper Program during tail end of Term 4 and then the follwoing year at the start of Term 1.

Description

As with the Nipper Summer Program, the School Term Program is a highly social physical activity and education program that aims to develop a basic knowledge of water safety and surf awareness including:

• Water and beach hazards

• Safe practices in the ocean

• Basic surf swimming and board skills

• Sustainability of the ocean environment

• Introductory competition skills

• Basic knowledge of resuscitation and first aid

 

The program is designed for children aged 6 - 13 years on 1st October who have demonstrated minimum swim proficiency standards.​ 

​

There is a strong focus on developing a sense of community and teamwork within age groups and across the program.

​

Nippers can continue on through the Club to complete their official Lifesaving qualifications including the Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) for Nipper aged 13-14 and the Bronze Medallion upon turning 15.
