Send Your Kids to Nippers Lifesaving

By

The Summer Season is here and with it the Surf Life Saving season has arrived.

Beach-loving kids of all ages are encouraged to enrol this weekend at Kings Beach Life Saving Club for the nipper section.

“The importance of beach safety is imperative,” said club Nipper chairman Chris Pearce, “We teach valuable surf life saving skills, and life skills. Nippers make the kids surf aware and all children have fun.”

“They learn where rips are and know to swim between the flags and how to tell if someone’s distressed in the water.”

Training for nipper members is on Sunday mornings from 11.00am.

“Our nippers and juniors have had a fantastic season in terms of developing and improving their surf lifesaving skills, as well as surfing. We have had many sessions in challenging conditions which offers teh kids the opportunity to test and develop their lifesaving and surfing skills in a safe environment – excellent preparation for our future beach lifeguards.”

The club had a particularly strong junior group who had grown in the three years, and who are fantastic role models for the younger nippers.

KB Nippers registrations will be at the club house 07 and 14 October from 10:30am-1.30pm.
