Nipper Program

If you’re thinking of introducing your child to surf life saving, then the Lorne Surf Life Saving Club Nipper program is the best place to do it. Nippers is open to all children from the age of 6 through to 14 years old.

Surf life saving is an amazing activity for growing a child’s confidence, knowledge and skills in the beach environment. Not only will your child have fun and meet new friends they will become part of an iconic organisation that has served the Australian community for over 100 years.

The juniors of today are the future of surf life saving and with the tireless help of the dozens of parents and also some of our elite competitors, the Lorne SLSC has established a highly reputable program that runs for a 2 week period, beginning on Boxing Day each year.

Not only is nippers a fun way for your child to enjoy the beach in a safe environment, it also offers children an educational pathway through the delivery of the SLSA Junior Development Program. This program is designed to ensure children have fun at the beach while participating in lessons that will progress them to becoming a fully rounded participant in both lifesaving and sport.
