Our Junior Surf Programme is where it all starts for our lifeguards of tomorrow!
We have two main goals in junior surf:
- To build the skills and knowledge that will enable members to train for their Surf Lifeguard Award at age 14.
- To introduce kids to carnivals/competitions in a fun environment where they can take things at their own pace and build self-confidence.
The programme runs every Sunday morning through summer and caters for kids aged between 5-14 years who want to learn about beach and water safety, develop new skills, have fun and best of all - make new friends!
Our juniors are divided into age groups, with each group having at least one dedicated coach plus the help of our amazing senior athletes who're keen to give back to younger members.
Age groups are based on the child's age as at 30 September (so to join the U6 age group you would need to be 5 years old before 30 September that year).
Age groups: U6, U7, U8, U9, U10, U11, U12, U13, U14
