Donning the yellow and red

If you have a willing attitude and a love of the ocean then the Sunshine Beach Surf Club Confidence squad wants you.
Nippers is the starting point for all life savers – those who dream of donning the yellow and red cap. The Confidence Squad is there to help those who may lack a little confidence and experience when it comes to swimming.
The Confidence Squad program was introduced by Guy Clare last year and is already considered a success with participants learning to swim in the ocean and use Nipper boards.
The annual Nippers sign on day is at the Noosa Aquatic Centre this Friday, from 3.30pm and again on Saturday, from 2pm. With the Nipper season due to start on 21 September, there’s no time to waste.
Nippers will need to bring along their birth certificate, Medicare card, Blue Card (if parents have one), togs, goggles and a towel.
