How
to Join
"Nippers" is an activity-based program run
to educate young children about surf safety and awareness when visiting a beach
or aquatic environment. The nipper program also offers the participants the
opportunity to meet a new set of friends whilst they are being challenged in
activities controlled within a learning environment.
The minimum age for children to start nippers is
5 years of age. That is, the child must have turned 5 before the 1st of
October.
