Nippers introduces children aged 6 to 13 years to surf life saving, which is a great activity for growing a child's confidence, knowledge and skills in the beach environment.

Nippers is not a “learn to swim program”. Nippers is about children participating in safe, fun, and organised activities in a beach environment.

The activities are designed to progressively develop each child’s understanding of water safety, beach and surf awareness, and lifesaving skills as they move through each age group.


The Wooli Nippers Program

Delivered at two prominent beaches on Victoria’s Phillip Island - Cleeland Bight Beach and Smiths Beach - the Woolamai Beach SLSC Nippers Program is a seven-day intensive program run annually over the Christmas / New Year period.
