Get involved

Register for Nippers

At Fairy Meadow Surf Club, we cater to all ages. Our Nippers program welcomes children aged 5-15, where fun, encouragement, and safety take center stage. Nippers isn’t just about activity; it’s about forging friendships, boosting confidence, and mastering surf safety. As children progress through age groups, they gradually join our patrols, learning essential lifesaving skills.

Join a patrol

For those looking to be more involved in their community, meet new people and form lasting friendships we invite you to join one of our patrol teams. For those 16 years and older, becoming a patrolling member opens doors to training in CPR, First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation, and rescue techniques. No athleticism or strong swimming required—our multidisciplinary patrol team has a role for everyone.

Learn new skills

We take immense pride in delivering top-tier training to our members. Over the past few years, we’ve diligently expanded our team of expert educators and invested in cutting-edge training equipment. This technology creates a lifelike training environment and offers real-time feedback, enabling you to enhance your skills. Our dedicated educators include registered paramedics, qualified teachers, and seasoned Lifesavers.
