Welcome to Season 2023/24

​

Nippers is a water safety skills and education program that introduces children aged 5 to 14 years to lifesaving. Nipper Education Programs are delivered at Life Saving Clubs across Victoria throughout summer.

​

The program is about children participating in safe, fun and organised activities in a beach environment, preparing them to be future lifesavers.

​

The Nipper Education Program caters for all manners 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. Nippers is a key initiative of the lifesaving movement, and its continuous success is of vital importance to the growth of Victorian Life Saving Clubs.
