Surf Life Saving

Nippers, opens in a new tab. A junior activities program that introduces children aged 5 to 14 to surf life saving. It’s a great way for children to make friends, be active and learn how to enjoy the beach safely. Nippers first learn about surf awareness and safety. As they progress through the various age groups, nippers will undergo lessons in wading, running, ocean swimming, board paddling, and lifesaving skills, as well as learning the basics of resuscitation and first aid.

Silver Salties, opens in a new tab. A participation program for older Australians (65+ years) at Surf Life Saving Clubs throughout Australia, promoting physical activity, social connections, and involvement in the surf lifesaving community. Adults 18+ are welcome to participate, however, adults 65+ are the target audience.

With a range of challenging-yet-fun obstacles set over grass, sand, and surf the uniquely Australian obstacle course is perfect for some family fun in the sun.
