Surf Life Saving Sydney junior activities caters for more than 5500 young surf lifesavers. Commonly known as ‘nippers’, these members learn all there is to know about staying safe at the beach. They learn about:

• Surf safety and awareness, including how to identify rips
• Surf sports skills, such as how to catch a wave when swimming
• Personal development and leadership skills, including teamwork and improving self confidence.

Making up over one third of our membership, nippers are not only our future but they are our ‘now’.

To find out how to become a nipper, get in touch with your local surf life saving club.
