nippers
Grow your child’s confidence, knowledge and surf skills in a fun and safe beach environment.As of 20th November 2025, we have reached full capacity in our Surf Sport and Core Nippers streams.
If you have already paid membership but are still pending due to Working with Children requirements or the Nipper Registration form, please complete these elements for us asap.
Please do not apply from scratch for these streams after this date.
We do still have space in our Summer Intensive program.
Nippers is a fun and active junior program for children aged 7 to 13 that introduces them to the exciting world of surf lifesaving.
Through hands-on beach and water activities, Nippers learn essential surf skills and build ocean confidence in a supportive environment while having fun with their friends. Many of our Nippers go on to become the next generation of surf lifesavers and future patrolling members of OGSLSC.
OGSLSC provides a number of protection measures to ensure our Nippers are as safe as possible.
Nipper Programs
We offer three program streams to suit different interests and levels of involvement: the Core Sunday Nippers program, Surf Sport program or the Summer Intensive program.
Registering for Nippers
Registrations for the 25/26 season open 1 August. There are a few steps to complete before your nipper hits the beach.
Nippers Community
Getting involved in the nippers community is a rewarding experience. Get information on volunteering, social aspects and the best way to connect once your child is registered.

Nipper Safety
Safety is at the heart of everything we do in the Nippers program, with all activities designed to teach nippers how to stay safe at the beach while building their skills and confidence in the surf. OGSLSC is a Child Safe Organisation and provides a number of protection measures to ensure our Nippers are as safe as possible.
