Description
Narrabeen Beach Nippers provides surf safety awareness, junior lifesaving education, competitive surf sports, and confidence for children ages 5-13 Getting your children involved in Surf Lifesaving is very rewarding for the children and parents alike, teaching essential life skills, making new friends, keeping fit, and giving you peace of mind that as they grow older, they have the skills and knowledge to be safe when visiting the beach.
The Nippers program commences in October and concludes in late March each year, with a break over the Christmas period. Start times each week are 9.15am for roll call.
The progam is open to boys and girls aged 5-13 (determined as at midnight on the 30th September).
Parents are encouraged to participate too! As Age Manager’s (and assistants), Water Safety, Competition Officials, Sausage-Sandwich makers, and more!
Narrabeen Beach SLSC also hosts the Narrabeen Junior Carnival in January each year.
