BECOME A PART OF THE
CAIRNS SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB FAMILY
Nippers runs from April through to October, on a Sunday morning & is a junior activities program that introduces children aged 5 to 14 to Surf Life Saving. It’s a great way for children to make friends, be active and learn how to enjoy the beach safely.
Nippers first learn about surf awareness and safety. As they progress through the various age groups, nippers will undergo lessons in wading, running, ocean swimming, board paddling and lifesaving skills as well as learning the basics of resuscitation and first aid.
Membership fees cover insurance, Sunday nipper sessions during season, free coaching and training sessions each week, plus free Supporters Club membership with member discounts. Club uniforms and some carnivals plus Championship events are an additional cost.
We would love to see new and returning families to our surf lifesaving community where safety, camaraderie, and fun await.
