NIPPERS 7-12 yrs

Small children with loud voices ! NIPPERS aims to educate every child in all aspects of surf awareness, beach safety, first aid & sport. There is a real emphasis on Surf Life Saving but we also have lots of fun with the following beach work:

• SURF WADING & SWIMMING
• LEARNING TO PADDLE BOARDS
• BEACH FLAGS & RUNNING
• SURFING.....

All of our 13 - 16 year old JUNIORS can train & compete in
:

• SURF SKI
• SURF RESCUE PADDLE BOARD
• SURF SWIMMING
• BEACH EVENTS - FLAGS, SPRINTS,
• SURFING
  
  

All juniors take part in club beach patrols during the summer peak weekends. There are opportunities for taking various surf life saving & first aid awards and from 16 years of age, Juniors can volunteer under the RNLI Beach Lifeguards programme to gain valuable work experience. Many of our junior members go on to work as professional Lifeguards here and abroad, their time with us at Perranporth SLSC giving them the solid grounding which make our members exceptional watermen & women.
