About our Club
Our Objective
Our objective at Newport is to educate the community from adults to children, to be competent and safe in the beach and surf environment.
We have a strong focus on educating our children within the community and providing them with a range of activities to improve surf knowledge and techniques, which are introduced to the children through our Nipper Programme, run on Sunday mornings throughout the summer months. We also pride ourselves on being able to keep the general public safe by providing a beach that is patrolled through summer. To do this we rely on volunteer members to join us and become lifesavers, undertaking a range of awards and qualifications.
Nippers programme for special needs children
In addition to our regular Nipper programme, Newport is proud to run a Nipper Programme specifically designed for children with Special Needs. We are one of the first and only clubs to offer such a programme.
Our Dolphins and Marlins group meets during the regular Nipper time slot, with nippers aged from 6 to early 20s participating. It is always wonderful to see new faces to help at this programme, so if you have a spare Sunday morning feel free to come and join us.
Social events
We host several social events and fundraisers throughout the season. Please support them when you can as all proceeds go towards the supply of essential lifesaving equipment to ensure we can patrol the beach effectively.
Board of Management
Board of Management Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month. Should you wish to attend a meeting, or to bring a matter to the attention of the Board, please contact the Director of Administration or President to make arrangements.
