Parents Information
Please introduce yourself to your child's age manager, we need all the help we can get in organizing the children, support from willing parents makes life easy for all and make sure the children have a good time. We need judges, recorders & just good all round extra hands. Even if you can not commit to each week please try and fill in when and where needed.Water Safety Help
If you are interested in doing your Bronze Medallion to help us with water safety, we are willing to train you, please contact the Training and Education director.
Club BBQ, Setup and Packup
The Nippers run the club BBQ every Sunday as part of the fundraising for junior activities. Each week an age group is rostered on to assist and we appreciate a lot of help from parents on their rostered day, indeed anytime you would like to lend a hand.
Age Groups are also rostered on to help with "setting up" and "packing away" the equipment used each week.Officials for Competitions
We need parents that are willing to do training to obtain accreditation that will allow them to become an official at competitions. We are required to supply officials according to the number of competitors we send, so more assistance is always gratefully received.
Water Event Conditions
The safety of the children is our first concern. The Patrol Captain, Junior Activities Director or Junior Water Safety officer are the only people authorized to allow water events to start or continue in the case of doubtful conditions.
When children are in the water there is an official minimum ratio of water safety to children. If the level is not achieved water events can not continue.Important Points to Note
The nippers are not a child minding service and parents/guardians are advised they should remain nearby should an incident occur or should events finish early. It is important for parents to remain on the beach for the children’s safety and confidence. Parents should also be willing to get involved with their child's sport as helpers. The whole of the family can then enjoy being involved with Surf Lifesaving.
Club costumes, competition caps, and other items are available for purchase through the club office on Sundays or on registration days.
