Nippers is an intensive program held over 2 weeks following Christmas each year that is designed for children to develop knowledge of water safety and surf awareness. There are three categories within the Nippers Program:

1. Age Groups U7 to U13 (for children aged 6 to 12 as at 30 September 2022) Please continue with this online registration form.

2. Age Group U14, which incorporates Surf Rescue Certificate Training (this is the final year of the Nipper program for children aged 13 as at 30 September 2022). Please complete the separate U14 registration form.

3. Starfish Nippers (designed for Nippers aged over 6 with a disability). Please complete the Starfish Nippers separate registration form.

The online registrations are tailored for each of the Nipper categories, so you only have to provide information that is relevant to you and your child, making the registration process simpler. We understand some parents may need to register a child in two or more categories but this should still be a relatively simple process. 

Please follow steps 1 - 4  below before continuing to the online Nipper registration. Failure to do so will mean your child cannot be registered for Nippers. 

1. Working with Children Check (WWCC) Parents/guardians aged 18 years and older must obtain or update a WWCC - for further details please click here.
2. Renew/Apply and Pay for Membership for each member of your family who wants to be involved. Please read the information on our Membership website page, including details about how to create your family group. 
3. Receive your Membership Confirmation from Anglesea SLSC - this will be emailed to you once we have finished processing your membership/s. 
4. Download and complete a Preliminary Skills Evaluation for each Nipper (Under 7 are exempt and Starfish Nippers should download and complete a Medical Form). 
5. Register for Nippers/Starfish. Once steps 1 to 4 are complete, continue with this online Registration.
6. Please note that a Nipper levy is payable per Nipper to assist with covering the increasing costs of purchasing and maintaining Nipper equipment (including appropriate maintenenace, storage and repair of Nipper boards), the Nipper pack and the administration and running of the program. This levy covers the sosts of all summer sessions and enables your child to attend Dolphins sessions all year round.
