What does being a nipper involve?
There are almost 50,000 junior surf lifesavers (nippers) in Australia. Nippers start learning about surf awareness and safety through the ‘SurfEd’ program. They are also able to participate in board paddling, surfing, swimming, running, wading and other fun activities and games. Practising these skills allows children to compete in club, regional and state surf lifesaving carnivals representing their clubs.
