Nippers can compete in carnivals against other local clubs several times a year. Children doing carnivals have extra proficiency requirements which include a longer pool swim and a ocean swim at the beach. They also have the opportunity to work on their skills at carnival training before Nippers on Sundays.
Note:
- Under 8s do not have a carnival swim proficiency requirement as their water events are limited to a wade
Detals of the 2023/2024 Nippers Carnival calendar can be found on the Hunter Branch website here.
Like all sporting clubs we rely on volunteers to help everything run smoothly.
Opportunties to help include:
- Age Managers - We need one female and one male age manager for each year group. We encourage as many people to be involved to allow rotation of supervisors.
- BBQ Duty
- Beach Setup
- Admin and Social Media
We ask that our Nippers volunteers join Nobbys as members, have a valid WWC check and complete some easy training offered by the club.
