Providing active surf-education, through fun and adventure, for the Kingscliff and Casuarina area.

New members are always welcome at any time during the season. If you would like to come and try before you commit, that’s fine. Everyone is welcome. Come down on Sunday at about 8:45am and fill out the sign-in sheet to start your free trial.

Salt/Casuarina Juniors (or nippers) is the membership category available to both boys and girls aged 7 to 13 who learn the skills to become lifesavers of the future. We also run a fun educational program for nippers aged 5 and 6 (Under 6 and 7) where members are given a non-competitive understanding of Surf Life Saving through fun and games. See the Nippers for ages 5 and 6 page for more information specific to the Salt program for U6/U7.

Each Sunday morning between October and March, the Salt Nippers gather to learn the skills necessary to handle themselves in the surf, recognise danger and be safe. Salt Nipper days are the foundation from which we build basic surf skills, competition skills and knowledge of “Surf Awards”.

The aims of the Sunday activities are:

Instruction in surf safety & surf awareness
Lifesaving & first aid skill development
Awareness and decision making
Competitive sport activities
Platform to senior beach patrolling duties
Enjoyable social activity for children & parents

OUR AIM
To offer a safe, friendly, fun and educational environment in which children can experience and develop their surf life saving, competitive and life skills through our professional nipper program which is tailored to the environment where we live.

OUR PROGRAM
The Salt SLSC Nipper Program has an impressive history of training the next generation of surf lifesavers during the 10 years of its existence.

Our comprehensive program is designed to teach the skills that are required for our local conditions. We feel that it is very important for our children to be safe and confident at their local beach.

The Junior program teaches surf awareness, respect for the conditions and how to use the local surf to advantage. We use competition events (carnivals) to test ourselves in a meaningful and fun environment.
