Thank you to everyone who has joined — we can’t wait for a great few weeks ahead!
We understand there was a high level of interest and a waitlist this season, but unfortunately, we aren’t able to accommodate everyone this time around. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome more families in future programs.
About Off-Peak Nippers
Inverloch SLSC is excited to be running our Off-Peak Nippers program this Term 4!
This mid-week program is perfect for families looking to stay active and connected outside of the traditional summer season.
The Off-Peak Nippers program is designed to give children a fun and engaging introduction to lifesaving outside of the busy summer period. Unlike our traditional Summer Nippers program, which runs over the Christmas/New year break and includes a larger number of participants, Off-Peak Nippers is a smaller, mid-week program that focuses on building surf safety awareness, confidence in the water, and teamwork in a relaxed environment. With smaller group sizes and paired age groups, children benefit from more personal attention and a supportive atmosphere.
The program runs for eight weeks during Term 4, with each session finishing with a family BBQ to encourage community connection and friendships both on and off the beach. It’s a great way for families who may be unavailable during summer, or who simply want an extra opportunity for their children to stay active and connected, to experience all that Nippers has to offer.

Parent/Guardian Involvement
Parent and guardian involvement is an essential part of the Off-Peak Nippers program. For safety reasons, all parents are required to remain on the beach during the sessions. We also encourage parents to get involved by helping with roles such as water safety, activity support, or the BBQ roster. You don’t need to have a background in lifesaving to contribute, every extra set of hands helps create a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for the children. Parent involvement not only ensures smooth running of the program but also helps build the strong, supportive community that Inverloch SLSC is known for.
Water Safety and Volunteer Sign Up
We rely on the support of our amazing parents and members to help this program run safely and smoothly. If you’re able to assist with water safety or as a general volunteer, please sign up using the link below. Every extra pair of hands makes a huge difference to the experience for our Nippers. Ideally every parent/guardian assigns them selves to a few roles throughout the program.
