WET weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the Noosa Nippers on a near empty Main Beach on the weekend.
The skies opened up and so did the parent’s umbrellas. Despite this, the Nippers took advantage of the small waves and calmer conditions to practice boards and some longer swims.
The under-10s showed how far they had come since September completing a mini-ironman between Main Beach and Little Cove.
Their age managers and water safety volunteers were right alongside them offering moral support and practical advice. A big thanks to these volunteers for literally doing the extra mile this week.
Nippers have a big weekend coming up with a team heading off to the Nippers under-8 to under-10 branch titles at Redcliffe this Saturday. Good luck to them as they fly the flag for Noosa against clubs from across south-east Queensland.
Locals should take advantage of the last month of summer before the Easter crowds arrive in March.
And remember to tuck in to the Nippers breakfast barbecue – everything on the menu comes with a free smile.
