Proficiency Requirements

At Nippers we do not provide swimming lessons. We suggest that all Nippers participate in one of our local swim schools all year round, in order to prepare your child for surf sport activities. Children who do pool swimming regularly will be more capable in the surf and ultimately enjoy nippers more.

In order to participate in water activities all Under 6 to Under 14 Nippers must complete water proficiency assessments, in accordance with Surf Life Saving Australia’s requirements.


Note: It is not an assessment which if not completed competently  precludes the child from becoming a member or continuing with junior  surf education or training activities. Members who are unsuccessful at  their first attempt are encouraged to try again at a later time. 

Stage One - Aquatic Plan and Fundamental Aquatic Skills (FAS)

Recommended depth of safe aquatic environment is 1 metre

Stage Two - Under 9, Under 10 and Under 11

Applied aquatic skills.

Recommended depth of safe aquatic environment is 1.5 metres

Stage Three - Under 12, Under 13 and Under 14

Junior/trainee lifesaver and pathway to SRC (Surf Rescue Certificate)

Emergency

In the event of an Aquatic Incident/ Emergency, dial triple zero (000).
