Our Award Winning Sea-Lions program provides surf safety skills to youth who are less comfortable in the regular Nipper program due to cognitive or physical impairment or disability.
Program leaders come from a range of vocational backgrounds including paediatric health professionals, nurses, teachers and professional lifeguards. We work closely with participants, parents and carers over the 8 week summer course to provide a fun and safe environment where learning, relationship building and a sense of belonging can be achieved.
Places are limited.
2023-24 Season Dates will be announced soon. -
Sea-Lions Program participants pay an annual fee of $80.
