Each year, every junior member is required to complete a Pool Swim Evaluation prior to the commencement of the season. The Pool Swim Evaluation involves a survival float and a timed swim. Nippers who were not able to make one of the Club evaluation days can be signed-off by their swim school/coach. Click below for a printable version.

Nippers was established at the Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club in 1967.
The program runs at Noosa Heads Main Beach and is designed to introduce children aged 5 to 13 years to Surf Lifesaving. It is a fun outdoor activity that grows a child’s confidence and teaches valuable surf awareness skills. Our aim is to provide a safe, family-friendly and fun environment for our Nippers. Kids living on the coast should be equipped with the best skills and knowledge for safe use of Australian beaches. Our Nippers today are the next generation of Surf Lifesavers.
Membership
To join Nippers, children must be 5 years of age to 13 years of age by 30th September.
Please email [email protected] with any membership enquiries.
Due to high demand and limited spaces, we have had to close enrolments in the Under 6, Under 7, Under 8 and Under 9 age groups. We understand this may be disappointing news and apologies for any inconvenience caused.
As an alternative, we recommend reaching out to other clubs on the Sunshine Coast, such as Sunshine Beach, Peregian, or Coolum. They may still have available spots in your child’s age group.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you to our program in the future.
