NIPPERS

Nippers is a beach education program that introduces children aged 5 to 14 years to lifesaving and caters for all experience and skill levels of participants.

The basic intent of Nippers is to teach respect and safety in the surf and train Nippers to eventually be Australia's next generation of Life Savers.

Nippers at Mentone LSC is a Surf Life Saving and Life Saving Victoria program of surf safety, theory and first aid.

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 volunteer Coaches and Age Managers regardless of experience.

Nippers develop their skills in lifesaving and day to day life whilst being able to make lots of new friends along the way.
