TH & C Nippers

Welcome to the 2020-21 Season

Nippers is a dynamic part of the TH&C community. Nippers offers a fun and active lifestyle choice for children between the ages of 5-15, as well as a solid base for competition in surf sport activities. Our aim is to provide an opportunity to learn more about Surf Life Saving and Surf Awareness through Surf Education programs, in a enjoyable environment and encourage the next generation of young lifesavers.

We pride ourselves on being a family friendly club and encourage parents to become involved in the club and its activities throughout the season. There are many ways of providing assistance and in our experience there is nothing more satisfying than helping all children as they learn and have fun.

The nippers program will include surf swimming, surf safety, board paddling, board rescue, beach activities, and basic first aid.

Team App is our major communication tool. Please familiarise yourself with the information available and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
