Nippers

Children aged 7 to 13

Rest Bay Surf Life Saving Club has a lively and welcoming Nippers section for children aged 7 to 13. We’re open to all abilities and train regularly throughout the year. Many of our young members go on to compete in local and national events.

We’re currently welcoming new Nippers! If you’d like your child to learn vital lifesaving skills, stay safe in the sea, and have loads of fun with other like-minded kids, we’d love to hear from you.
