Junior Surf

Fun, educational, and a morning at the beach - it doesn’t get any better than Junior Surf! These are our Nippers - as we call them - kids aged from 7 to 14 who are part of Surf Life Saving’s Junior Surf program, they’re our lifeguards in the making!

  • Skill Development and Safety Education

    Junior Surf offers Sunday morning sessions during the Surf Season, emphasizing "serious fun" for junior participants while helping them gain confidence in and around the water. Participants not only learn essential safety skills for the beach but also receive training in Surf Sports Skills, including Beach Sprints, Beach flags, Surf Swim, and Board Race. These skills can be a stepping stone towards becoming a Lifeguard.

  • Parental Involvement and Lifeguard Support

    The program places importance on improving swimming abilities, although it doesn't offer formal swim lessons. Water activities are supervised by club surf lifeguards, and parents actively participate on a roster to assist with beach and water activities. Parents are encouraged to consider becoming surf lifeguards themselves,

  • Membership Fees Made For Families

    To join the Junior Surf Sports program, there is an annual fee structure of $60 per child between 7-13 years old. This fee covers both the program itself and club membership. We also offer a family membership where the whole family can become members for $120.00 - this fee structure provides affordability, making it accessible for more children to engage in this enriching experience.
