Fun first. Confidence for life.
Nippers is a fun, activity-based programme that teaches children between 5 and 13 about surf safety and awareness at the beach — beach sprints, relays, flags, swimming, board paddling and body boarding.
Your child doesn't have to be competitive, athletic or even confident in the surf. One of the best things about Nippers is watching children who are scared of the water lose their fear during the season.
GO THE RED TIDE!
Train with the Red Tide
Junior (14 to 19) and senior (19 and over) lifesavers train together through the season — surf swims, board and ski paddling, run-swim-runs and beach sprints — building the fitness and water skills that patrols and carnivals ask for.
Sessions run from the clubhouse on North Beach and the coaches set the weekly programme. New members are welcome at any level: come down on a training morning and meet the squad, or join online and the office will put you in touch with the coaches.
