Nippers is about having fun, making lasting friendships, and teaching an appreciation and enjoyment of the ocean. Whatever the goal, be it simply to improve water safety and confidence, become a surf lifesaver or a champion iron athlete the program will teach the foundation skills needed. 

Members who hold the Surf Rescue Certificate or Bronze Medallion and are 13+ years can compete in Youth/Senior carnivals.

There is a winter carnival season, which involves pool lifesaving and IRB competition, and a summer carnival season, which conducts the multi disciplinary events below. Carnivals for both seasons are conducted regularly throughout the state, culminating in the Victorian and Australian Championships.

The Jan Juc SLSC offer many opportunities for development within surf lifesaving.
