“Lifesaving is an invaluable way to teach the skills needed to navigate the ocean and save lives while keeping fit and forming lifelong friendships. Competitive teams are encouraged to take part in various events as a way of engaging with and competing against like-minded athletes from across the province and country,” she said.
The club welcomes all age groups, from nippers as young as three to masters over 30 years. Members of the public are encouraged to join the nippers’ open day at 08:30 at 1 Dick King Place, Doonside.
The nippers officers this season are Douglas Benton (U14), Gavin Fristenberg (U10), Ross Kyle (U12), Darryn de Jager (U10) and Michiel Brits (U12).
