SIGN UP NOW TO JOIN THE NIPPERS PROGRAM AT SEASPRAY
Want to be part of the Nippers program at Seaspray Surf Life Saving Club this summer?
If so, it’s time to get registered and get along to Aqua Energy to have your Nipper’s swimming ability assessed.
Nippers is a beach education program for children aged between five and 13 that introduces participants to life saving. They learn valuable water safety and life saving skills and gain confidence in the surf.
Sessions will be held at 9am on most Sundays in December and on Tuesdays and Fridays from 5.30pm during January.
All participants must have their swimming ability assessed by a qualified swimming instructor. Assessments will be conducted on Sunday 5 December at Aqua Energy. Children in the Under Six age group do not need to be assessed.
The assessment times are:
9am: Under Elevens, Under Twelves, Under Thirteens and Under Fourteens
9.30 for a 10am start: Under Sevens, Under Eights, Under Nines and Under Tens
Please enter from the main indoor reception area off Brayakoloong Close. The Guthridge Parade entrance will be closed. Those who are not Aqua Energy members may be asked to pay the entrance fee ($4.60 for children aged up to 15). Members should bring their membership tag. Aqua Energy requires everyone aged over 16 who enters its facility to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and to show their vaccination status via the Service Victoria app, a printout of their vaccination certificate or an official letter from their doctor with evidence of a medical exemption.
Our age managers will be running activities in the outdoor pool after the assessments if time and weather conditions allow.
Before assessment day, please make sure your child or family is registered and the appropriate Seaspray Surf Club membership is paid.
To help us out on the day, please ensure you are clear of your Nipper’s age group. Remember, age groups are determined by a child’s age on 30 September. That means, a child who turns 10 years old on 1 November will be in Under Ten, as they were nine years old at the end of September. A child who turned 12 years old on September 1 will be in Under Thirteen as they were 12 years old on 30 September.
