Without volunteers, there would be no Nippers!

Like all surf lifesaving activities, volunteers run our Nipper days and Carnivals.

With over 100 Nippers at Cairns, we need parental assistance each week to ensure our program runs efficiently and, most importantly, safely for our kids. When we take a team away to a carnival, this support team needs to increase as our resources get stretched between patrolling obligations and the carnival.

Volunteering in surf life saving is FUN and we need you!

Some of the volunteer roles available are:

• • • • • • Beach setup and pack down
          • BBQ duties
          • Age Manager and Age Manager Assistants
          • Water Safety
          • Nipper Adult Assistant
          • Officials (at carnivals)

It is crucial that our volunteer force is strong and willing to support our ever-growing Nipper program. Without volunteers, there would be no Nippers!

Ways to help.

One way to help at carnivals is to become an Official. Anyone can official; roles are varied and simple to pick up and your kids will enjoy having you involved. Nipper parents with swimming and board skills can also undertake a Surf Rescue Certificate or Bronze Medallion to assist in providing crucial Water Safety during weekly nippers and during carnivals.
