Nipper Water Safety Certificate Training

The Nipper Water Safety Certificate is back! This simple qualification enables parents and carers to help us with water coverage each Saturday and also potentially take the first step on the way to additional lifesaving qualifications. The certificate allows adult members to act as a Nipper Water Safety Assistants (NWSA’s) providing water safety for Under 10 and younger nipper activities, increasing our water cover capability at training and ensuring the kids have as much time as possible in the surf!

The first course of the year will be run in early December with two parts:

1.       45min meet and great and theory session on Thursday 1 December from 7-745pm at the Club; and

2.       A 2hour session on the beach from 1030-1230pm on Saturday 3 December right before Nipper training.

You’ll learn how to use lifesaving floatation devices in shallow water (up to 30m off shore), basic fitness and the ability to swim 50m is required.

The session on Saturday 3 December will also include the annual proficiency for existing NWSA’s which will consist of a short 30min session from 12-1230pm.
