Nipper Age Groups - Newport Surf Life Saving Club

Nippers are divided into nine age groups – from U6s through to U14s. The age group is determined by the child’s age at midnight on 30 September each year. For example, a child who is 11 on 30 September will be in U12s. A child who turns 11 on 1 October will be in U11s. Children must have turned five years of age before they can participate in Nippers’ activities. Please email the Registrar should you need further clarification of the age groups.
