NIPPERS PROGRAM 24/25

The Portsea SLSC Nippers is a beach education program that introduces children aged 6 to 12 years to lifesaving and is one of the Clubs cornerstone Education programs.

The Nippers program is about children participating in safe, fun and organised activities in a beach environment; preparing them to be future lifesavers and caters for all manner of experience and skill levels of participants. The emphasis is focused on fun and education, regardless of development stages to ensure experiences are positive and affirmative. It is important to recognise that young people have varying learning abilities that need to be catered for throughout all programs.

Activities have been designed to progressively develop the essential skills of Nippers as they move through each age group. The lessons are presented in an easy to follow manner to ensure they can be delivered by all Age Managers regardless of experience.
