The Summer Holiday Program runs over a two-week period (8 sessions) commencing Monday 27 December 2021.

This program provides all children (U7-13) the opportunity to participate, learn and have fun. It focuses on:

• Basic First Aid
• Awareness of beach hazards such as rips, waves, rocks etc.
• Introducing aspects of the surf sport activities such as board paddling (age dependent), surf swimming, body surfing, wading, beach sprints and beach flags.

Each age group is taught specific skills and activities.

A nipper who achieves all the skills of their age group will attain the Surf Education Award.

Preliminary Swim Assessment

Evidence of a nipper’s swimming competency is mandatory for all nippers and must be provided before participating in any water-based activities. Evidence can take the form of:

1. Return of this Preliminary Swim Assessment 2021-2022 form to the Club Office after it is signed by a parent AND a qualified coach, swim teacher or lifeguard;
2. A nipper’s Competition Skills Evaluation (S-Badge) from the 2020/2021 season – no assessment is required but a parent will need to complete this Preliminary Swim Assessment 2021-2022 form to indicate that the nipper can still meet the requirements;
3. Assessment by the Age Group Coach at a club organised pool based session (details on TeamApp);
4. Assessment by the U7 Age Group Coach as part of the early sessions at the beach (Under 7 Nippers only).

The impact for nippers who are unable to complete any of the above options is:

• Under 7&8 – Can participate in Nippers, the club will provide modified activities.
• Under 9-13 – Unable to participate as activities will require the nippers to swim the minimum swim assessment distance. VicSwim or attending swim lessons would be more beneficial to the child.

Please refer all Preliminary Swim Assessment questions to nippers@janjucsurfclub.com.au or via the TeamApp chat rooms.
