Woodside Nipper Club of the Year - Awards of Excellence Finalist 🌟
We’re incredibly proud to be named a finalist for Woodside Nipper Club of the Year at the 2025/2026 SLSWA Awards of Excellence.
This season has been a huge step forward for our Nippers program, built on strong planning, quality delivery, and a focus on developing confident, capable young lifesavers. From structured weekly sessions and dedicated water safety, to tailored surf awareness and lifesaving skill development, our program continues to put safety, learning, and enjoyment at the centre 💛❤️
We’ve also introduced a number of exciting initiatives this season including pre-season evaluations allowing Nippers to hit the ground running from week one, a Joint Nipper Day with Fremantle SLSC with over 600 participants, and expanded training opportunities across surf sports with strong weekly attendance.
Our focus on development pathways has seen continued growth, with improvements across participation, performance, and skill development. Programs like “Become a Lifesaver for a Day” are helping create confident transitions from Nippers into Youth, ensuring we are building the next generation of lifesavers.
A huge thank you to our dedicated Age Managers, water safety, coaches, volunteers, and families who make this program what it is - this recognition belongs to all of you 👏
Best of luck to all finalists this Saturday night, we’re proud to represent our club and community! 🧡💙
