The objectives of North Narrabeen Nippers are to ensure that those children who register with the Club are provided with:

Sunday Nippers
Children need to assemble on the beach at 9:15am behind their age group signs to enable Age Managers to mark the rolls. Events begin at 9:30am sharp. Please assist your child's Age Manager eg; place judges or helping with the wade, etc. At the conclusion of events, please collect your child(ren) from their Age Manager. Once signed out, nippers are to remove their white caps.
A BBQ is held on the Club deck after most Nippers. This is a great opportunity to meet other Nipper families and everyone is welcome. Each Age Group will be rostered on BBQ duty which is rotated on a weekly basis. Rosters will be published in the newsletter and on the website.
Surf Sport Events for all interested members: Surf Swim and Beach Sprint at the Patrol tent at 11am each Sunday after nippers.

*Wade and water event locations will be decided on the day according to surf conditions.
IMPORTANT NOTE Water Safety is of paramount importance and the more parents who are willing to assist in helping the children to become comfortable and competent in the surf, the more they will benefit. The Water Safety personnel are all qualified and can be identified by their ORANGE CAPS and ORANGE WATER SAFETY VESTS.
SLSA Proficiency Requirements
For safety and development reasons, junior activity participants need to successfully complete preliminary assessment. This evaluation must be undertaken prior to commencing any junior activity training or competition - refer table below for requirements. These times must be witnessed by one of the following officials – Chief Instructor, Level One Official or Level One Coach.
SLSA Rules & Regulations
- CAPS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHILE PARTICIPATING IN AN EVENT.
- A child must NOT wear their cap in the water unless they are competing in a water event. Swimming is only allowed in the patrol area for those not competing. These rules are strictly adhered to at carnivals, so let’s practice them at our beach at all times. Carnival Officials can become quite harsh about the water rules and may reprimand any club not obeying them.
- CAPS MUST BE REMOVED AT THE CONCLUSION OF SCHEDULED EVENTS.
