RegistrATIONS HAVE NEARLY CLOSED for summer 2025/2026 season
*** U6, U7, U8, U9, and U14 are now at capacity and closed for registration (as at 03/09/25)
Nipper season runs from mid September through to early March.
If you are planning to join us on the beach this season, get in quick as the next opportunity to register will be August 2026.
Mooloolaba SLSC Junior Activities (Nippers) are designed to ensure children aged 5 to 13 years have fun at the beach, while building the child’s confidence and teaching valuable skills about beach safety and surf awareness so they can go on to become lifesavers themselves.
Nippers need to be a minimum of five years of age as at 30 September. Before the start of the Nipper season each participant is required to complete a Preliminary Skills evaluation designed to ensure that each child demonstrates a standard of competence in an aquatic environment.
Mooloolaba Nipper programs are held every Sunday from mid-September through to early March from 8.00am until 10.30am (younger age groups (Under 6 & 7s) finish earlier at 9.30am).
Please note that Nippers is not a ‘learn to swim’ program, your child will need to be able to demonstrate a particular level of swimming skills before being accepted to the program.

CHILD SAFETY COMMITMENT & blue cards
We encourage all parents to obtain a Blue Card.
This is mandatory for volunteering parents.
Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club is committed to keep all of our members safe, particularly our children. While it is a mandatory legislative requirement that all staff and volunteers who work with children are Blue Card holders, we’d also like to encourage any eligible parents to obtain a Blue Card too, just in case we need you to jump in the canteen or on the BBQ at a moment’s notice!
The Starfish Nipper Program
Mooloolaba Surf Lifesaving Club runs a Starfish Nippers program. Designed for children and young adults with a disability age 6 and above, the program aims to give young people with disabilities beach safety skills and water safety awareness.
