"EVERY SUMMER, MEET NEW FRIENDS,
LEARN, SWIM AND SURF."
Nippers (Junior Surf Education)
2024/ 2025 SEASON
Please note all Nipper Age Groups have been closed due to reaching Max Capacity. Please try back in September 2025 for the 2025/26 Season.
Nippers is about learning, confidence and having fun in a safe beach environment. For Nippers, the beach is the classroom. They gain confidence by passing the ‘tests’ of swimming, body-boarding, beach sprints, dolphin-diving, spotting a rip, having fun with new friends and discovering things about themselves.
Please note that Nippers is not a swimming school, all Nippers must be able to successfully complete a swim assessment to participate in the Nippers program. We recommend that all Nippers participate in regular swimming lessons, and our swim school of choice is PARC.
At Frankston Life Saving Club we encourage parents to be involved, with opportunities to volunteer as; Age Managers, Officials, Water Safety and other Parent Helpers assisting set up and pack up, equipment care, BBQ and further social, event and fundraising activities, as well as the possibility of acquiring their Surf Rescue Certificate, Bronze Medallion and other awards.
