Nipper Program

Our specifically designed Nipper program is for swimmers from 8 years of age who participate in Surf Lifesaving and Nipper clubs outside of swimming lessons.

Our aim is to provide quality programs for Nipper swimmers working on endurance and stamina.  Nipper sessions are predominantly freestyle based but may incorporate some other strokes for warm-up/down or recovery.

An assessment is required before joining the Nipper program to determine whether this session is appropriate for swimmers’ ability. 

Join us in nurturing the next generation of confident, skilled, and safety-conscious swimmers through our Nipper program. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their aquatic journey.

Our coaches may recommend a regular Learn to Swim Lesson in conjunction with participation in the Nipper program for effective skill acquisition.
