NIPPERS

NIPPER INFORMATION

Nippers is for children aged 5 to 13 years (must be 5 years old by 30 September). As children progress throughout the age groups they will develop skills in running, swimming and board paddling – they have fun and develop their beach safety skills all while learning how to become a Surf Lifesaver. We love to welcome new members to our surf lifesaving community!

Our Nipper Handbook contains everything that Junior members need to know about Nippers at Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club for the current season.
