Bridport SLSC Nippers Program

The Bridport SLSC Nippers program offers an exciting summer sport experience for children aged 5–12 years. With a focus on developing confidence, knowledge, and skills on the beach and in the surf, this program aims to educate children to be competent and safe in the coastal environment.

The Nippers program is tailored to cater to children of different ages and abilities. Even if your little one is just starting out and cannot swim yet, they are more than welcome to join in on the fun. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn and enjoy the beach.

But it's not just about surf skills! Through participation in Nippers, children also learn the value of teamwork, working towards common goals, community consciousness, and the importance of volunteering. We believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who can make a positive impact both on and off the beach.

Parent involvement is crucial for ensuring the safety of our nippers. For this reason, we require a nipper parent or guardian to be present at the beach throughout the program. We encourage nipper parents to become club members and actively participate in the management and training of the children. By joining the club, parents also gain access to insurance coverage during beach activities, carnivals, and other sanctioned surf club events, as well as our fantastic club facilities.

Volunteers play a vital role in making Nippers possible, so we warmly welcome parental involvement in training. Whether you can help with water safety, starting events, marking lines, or keeping score, your contribution is highly valued. Together, we can create a safe and enjoyable environment for our nippers to thrive.
