Brunswick Nippers, the junior surf life-saving program offered by Brunswick Surf Club, is calling all interested players to join their upcoming event! This family-based club values its junior members and recognises them as the future of the club.
Living in this coastal region, it is crucial for children to understand the dangers of the beach and how to safely enjoy it. By joining the Brunswick Junior Surf Life Saving Club, children have the opportunity to learn essential surf safety and survival skills. The program runs every Sunday from October to March, ensuring a regular and consistent engagement with the beach and its challenges.
At Brunswick Nippers, there's something for everyone. The program offers a range of activities including wade events, board paddling, swimming, beach sprinting, beach flags, and other fun games designed to improve their surf skills. It's a great way for children to build confidence in the water while having a blast!
All Nippers also have the opportunity to participate in a comprehensive Surf Education program provided by Surf Life Saving Australia. This ensures a well-rounded learning experience that goes beyond just the physical aspects of beach activities.
Registration days are held in September, so mark your calendars! The program caters to children aged 5 to 13, with special educational activities tailored for the Under 6 and Under 7 age groups. The Under 8s get to participate in beach activities and wade races, and may sometimes be allowed to swim. As children progress to ages 9 to 14, they have the chance to compete in beach and water events while also learning important water safety and surf life-saving skills.
Parent involvement is highly encouraged, as it helps in organising and ensuring that the children have a fantastic time. The club even offers training to interested parents who would like to obtain accreditation to become officials at competitions. This way, parents can actively participate and support their child's journey in surf life-saving.
Safety is always the top priority at Brunswick Surf Club. Water event conditions are closely monitored, and only authorised individuals can decide whether to start or continue water events based on the conditions. Rest assured, the safety of every child is taken seriously.
It is significant to note that the Nippers program is not a child minding service. Parents or guardians are advised to stay nearby to ensure that their child is properly supervised.
So, if you're looking for a program that not only builds surf skills but also instils crucial life-saving knowledge, Brunswick Nippers is the place to be! Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to join a community that values the development and safety of its junior members. See you on the beach!
