Key Information
As a volunteer-led program, parental involvement is key to our success. From Age Managers to Beach Set Up & our BBQs, there are many ways to get involved and have fun while doing it! This not only helps the program run smoothly but also drives a more connected community. Since our program connects with children, all nipper parents are required to obtain a current blue card for their child to participate. This is a legislative requirement and is free to obtain.
Our Season
Our Nipper season runs every Sunday from mid-September to early March, between 7:50am – 10:15am (Under 6-7s: 7:50am – 9:15am). While our program includes beach learning and some swimming components, please note that it is not a learn-to-swim program. Children must demonstrate basic swimming skills to participate, which you can learn more about in our Nipper Handbook. To join us this season, watch for notifications around July each year or email your interest to slsc@coolumsurfclub.com.au
Note: Renewing memberships open 01 July 2025, with new memberships opening on 14 July 2025. For more information, please email us at slsc@coolumsurfclub.com.auHelpful Nipper Links
