Nippers Program

Woodside Nippers Program – Western Australia
The Woodside Nippers Program is a flagship initiative of Surf Life Saving Western Australia (SLSWA), proudly supported by Woodside Energy. It is designed to introduce children aged 5 to 13 years to the fundamentals of surf lifesaving, beach safety, and community awareness in a fun, inclusive, and educational environment.
Through age-appropriate activities, Nippers learn essential skills such as:

• 🌊 Surf awareness and beach safety
• 🏃‍♂️ Running, swimming, and board paddling
• 🩹 Basic first aid and rescue techniques
• 👫 Teamwork, leadership, and confidence-building

The program is delivered by parent volunteers across local surf life saving clubs in W.A, including weekend sessions, carnivals, and family-friendly events. It also serves as a pathway into Junior lifesaving, with opportunities to progress into patrol roles and lifeguard training as participants grow older.
