Balmoral Nippers is a community-based Nippers program run by the Balmoral Beach Club. 

The program teaches beach awareness to children between 4 and 12 through a series of activities and competition style events.

The program is designed as a 7 to 8 year program for all childeren from ages 4 to 12.

Balmoral Nippers is a parental supervision and participation program.

The Sub Junior Nipper program is open to all children between the ages of 4 and 5 years old.

The focus of this program is Fun, Fitness, Skills and Co-ordination.

Activities involving water make up 50% proportion of the program.

The Balmoral Nipper Championship program is open to all children between the ages of 6 and 11 years.

The Championship is run in a Competition format after the normal program, but you MUST  participate during the normal program to be involved in the championship.. 

The main Championship activities are flag races, swimming, board paddling and beach runs/sprints.

No child will be forced to compete in any event as participation is always at the discretion of the Participant and the supervising parent or guardian of the Participant.

The primary aim of the Nippers program is to provide our children with a healthy and fun development program at the beach.

We have designed Balmoral Nippers to be a Parental participation program so parents can get directly involved. 

In 2007/08, we have introduced Bronze Medallion by Royal Life Saving Association for older children who have finished the Nipper program.
