Want to be part of the Nippers program at Seaspray Surf Life Saving Club this summer? 

If so, it’s time to get registered and get along to Aqua Energy to have your swimming ability assessed. 

Nippers is a beach education program for children aged between six and 13 that introduces participants to life saving. They learn valuable water safety and life saving skills and gain confidence in the surf. Sessions are held on Sunday mornings at Seaspray over summer. 

 All participants must have their swimming ability assessed by a qualified swimming instructor. Assessments will be done on Sunday 6 December at the outdoor pool at Aqua Energy.  Children in the Under Six age group do not need to be assessed.  

 The assessment times are: 

9am   Under Sevens and Under Eights 

9.30am   Under Nines and Under Tens 

10am   Under Elevens and Under Twelves 

10.30am   Under Thirteens and Under Fourteens 

Please enter from the outdoor pool entrance on Guthridge Parade. Those who are not Aqua Energy members may be asked to pay the entrance fee. If you are an Aqua Energy member, please tell the gate attendant.  

Before assessment day, please make sure your child or family is registered and the appropriate Seaspray Surf Club membership is paid. 

While you’re at the pool, you will be able to buy this season’s Seaspray Surf Club merchandise, including hoodies and long sleeve T-shirts. It’s a great chance to get some sneaky Christmas shopping done…
