Welcome to Port Elliot Surf Life Saving Club
NIPPERS
Each week we aim to teach our little lifesavers new things that will not
only help develop their love of our beaches, but also develop an
understanding of our incredible ocean and the beauty and dangers of
its many different creatures.
We also provide basic knowledge about first aid, CPR, signals, surf
awareness, but most of all have fun in a safe environment and build their
water confidence.
Our Leaders are all lifesavers who volunteer their time each week. We
enjoy teaching your child about the ocean and ocean life. It’s an
amazing joint venture. There is so much to learn! You never know
PARENTS might learn something new too.
This year we are encouraging parents to join in and become a Nipper
too. We will also be offering a basic water safety course. For further
details on this basic 3 hour course contact Chris
nippers@portelliotslsc.com.au
We would love to see as many parents as possible having fun with their
children. You even get to wear a hi viz nipper hat!
We welcome all school age children to join our program. We also run a
specific Carnival Kids program for Nippers who also want to compete
against other children from other clubs across the State (for further
details email Jane juniors@portelliotslsc.com.au along with our program
called Same Wave. This program facilitates the introduction of surf
awareness, beach safety and fun for people aged 5 years and over and
living with a disability. For further details email
secretary@portelliotslsc.com.au

APPAREL
All nippers are required to wear a hi viz cap (this is
provided each week).
There is no specific requirements for Nippers other
than the hi viz cap. We do sell yellow nipper rash vests
and have some in stock ready for season
commencement. More details available. Carnival
kids do require a more specific uniform.
NIPPER DAYS
What to Wear / Bring:
Hi Viz Cap – This is provided and must be worn tied firmly under chin
Long sleeved rash vest
Sunscreen & towel
Water bottle recommended
Goggles & Wetsuit optional
What to do on Saturdays:
At this stage parents/caregivers/visitors will still need to sign in using the
COVID App on entry to the area.
• Sign your nipper in on the attendance sheet. We encourage the
Nippers to do this themselves and they will receive their hi viz cap.
• Meet at designated area.
• At conclusion of session, Nippers are again checked off the
attendance roll. They are not permitted to leave the beach until
collected from their group by an adult. All parents are expected
to remain on the beach with your nipper from start to finish of the
program. This is particularly necessary with our 5 -7 year olds.
Older children, we expect parents / caregivers to be in the nearby
vicinity.
5
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our nipper program will always depend on the number of qualified
leaders and surf conditions of the day. If conditions are favourable,
more time will be spent in the water than on the beach and vice versa.
We encourage all our Nippers to have a go and many even make it to
the pontoon by the end of the season assisted by leaders and ample
water cover.
SESSION TIMES
5, 6 and 7 year olds – Commence 12.30 pm until 1.30pm.
They participate in beach games and limited inshore activities where
they learn the basics of being comfortable in the water at the beach
and how to stay safe. We also teach basic lifesaving signals and basic
first aid.
8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 year olds - Commence 1.40 pm 3.00 pm.
They also participate in warm up activities, lifesaving signals, basic first
aid including CPR. Much more time is spent in the water and exploring
our beautiful Horseshoe Bay along with learning of its dangers.
SURF RESCUE CERTIFICATE
13 and 14 year olds who wish to become serious Lifesavers and patrol
the beach will complete a course known as SRC. This will be discussed
with keen participants. Contact Chris nippers@portelliotslsc.com.au if
you are interested. On completion of this course, it is expected that
these new lifesavers will attend the nipper program and assist where
they can with water safety for the younger member and or Patrol for at
least one full season. This helps our program thrive as
these members can pass on the skills they have learnt
through their own nipper journey, whilst still having fun
and learn what a lifesaver really is. Further information
on the course can be found by visiting
https://sls.com.au/role/surf-rescue-certificate/

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
We are a family club and we need the help of every family to share the
workload so that we can continue to maintain a high standard and
enjoyable and safe environment for everyone. Running a successful
club of this size only comes from the ongoing commitment of volunteers
and help offered by parents. Please note the following minimal
expectations the club requires from their nipper parents:
• As a parent or guardian you are required to be at the beach at all
times during Nippers. Your child remains your responsibility, this is
especially relevant in the 5,6 and 7 year old groups, we ask you to
hold any medication and take your child to any toilet trips. In the
older groups the leaders can take care of any medication if we
leave the immediate area, but ask parents to ensure the leaders
have any requirements and make them aware of any
management plans.
• It is club policy that at least one parent registers as a member as
per the membership policy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
At what age can my child commence Nippers?
Any school age child is eligible to join our Nipper program
What session will my child be in?
At Port Elliot we are proud to offer a diverse program. If your child has
friends in an older age group and is confident that they are up to the
task, we are more than happy to consider this as an option.
Can I drop my child at the beach?
No, it is absolutely necessary that a parent or designated adult is at the
beach during the entire duration of nippers.
I have 3 children in the same session and can’t be with each one?
That’s fine. Parents of the 5, 6 and 7 year olds need to be with the group
at all times. Parents of 8-13 year olds just need to inform their Leader and
child where they can be found at the beach.
How often does my child need to attend Nippers?
Our Nipper days are held each Saturday from November through to
early March (with some time off over Christmas). We understand that
families are busy so the program doesn’t require 100% participation, but
your child will benefit from regular attendance.
Is Nippers a Learn to Swim Program?
No, we do not provide specific learn to swim training or stroke
correction. This is encouraged to be taken up externally, but not
necessary for our program activities.
8
Does my child have to be able to swim?
If your child wants to join our Nippers program they do not have to be
able to swim. We will guide and encourage their water confidence.
However, if you child wants to be a member of competition kids then
they need to complete an evaluation as per each age group
requirements.
My child is not a strong swimmer / competitor but wants to be part of the
competition/surf sports part of the Club. Is there anything they can do?
Yes, as they get older there are numerous events that are based on
lifesaving skills, not just water skills, but Athletics, First Aid, March Past,
Rescue& Resuscitation (R&R). These kinds of events are judged on
accuracy and technique, not speed. However, training is still required to
be competitive (just like swimming and boards).
What happens when my child finishes the Junior Activities age groups?
The Junior Development Program is designed to gradually introduce
your child into the role of a qualified Surf Life Saver and assist in patrolling
the beaches and many enjoy becoming Nipper leaders. They can
continue to be involved in a variety of competition events if desired.
They will undertake various other awards and learn many facets of
community service involvement. They can be taught specialist areas of
competition and compete both as a state and national level.
Visit slsa pathways to find out more about where lifesaving can lead you.
But most of all, we encourage our Nippers to confidently grow and
become an important part of our Port Elliot Surf Life Saving Club Family.
