Juniors

Welcome to Cottesloe Surf Club Season 2012-2013. We are looking forward to seeing old and new faces this coming season.

Aims

The aims of the Cottesloe SLSC Junior Activities programme are to:

• encourage enjoyable and healthy participation

• increase members’ confidence and skills in beach-related activities

• develop surf awareness

• progress the members towards relevant surf awards

• promote a positive non-threatening environment

• instill and reinforce Sun Smart philosophies

Membership is open to everyone from ages 5 and upwards. Children aged 5 & 6 are able to join only if they have an older sibling in the club or parents/guardians who sign up as associate members and help out on Sunday mornings. For information about Nippers including the important proficiency dates, key contacts and how to get involved, please download our Cottesloe SLSC Juniors Nippers Hand Book 2012/13.

The Under 8s to Under 13s need to commence the 2012/2013 season with their proficiency swim, a requirement of Surf Life Saving Australia.

Sunday Morning Activities

Nippers and junior club members participate in surf and beach safety activities from October to March. Parents and children meet in the courtyard of the Club at 8.55am for announcements and club information. Children then go with their Age Group Manager down to the beach.

Coloured caps will be handed out on the first surf club day. This is so the Age Group Manager knows where all the members of the group are.

The kids of the surf club are divided into juniors, 5-14 years, and youth, 15-19 years. Whether you are interested in keeping fit, making friends or a keen competitor there is a place for everyone at Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club. However as our name suggests, our core function is Surf Life Saving and we would like to see all our Nippers eventually to become Patrolling members.
