Nipper Pathway Awards
This year we are re-launching the Nipper Pathway awards. For those of you 8 to 13 this is a great way to build your surf lifesaving skills with these progessive awards – for which you will gain a certificate and pin at each level – Bronze, Silver and Apprentice. These skills will help you stay safe whist having fun on the beach. You might like to continue onto Tube Rescuer and possibly in time lifeguard and this a great stepping stone on that journey. You can see the SLSGB Surf Lifesaving Jouney here
You can see more information from SLSGB
When you join you will receive a book to track your progress. Click on each level to see the main requirements Bronze, Silver, Apprentice Gold.
If you would like to be a part of the wider Surf Lifesaving community and take part in competitions and proudly represent our club, then you will need the relevant Ocean Star award for your age group. This will be recorded on your membership record – and you can always contact us if you want details for any reason – perhaps a CV, job application, college or university application. We can normally help if you can’t find the information or ceritifcate.
We will try and build up some more resources here to help with the knowledge sections – you don’t have to wait for us!
