The Junior Surf programme is an integral part of surf club activity and acts as a training ground for our future lifeguards. Children aged between 7-13 participate in organised activities that ensure they are surf and safety educated and confident to undertake training for their Surf Lifeguard Award at age 14.
The programme also aids children’s personal development by encouraging them to work as a team, mix with adults and peers, support one another, take on responsibility and compete fairly.
Junior Surf is instrumental in teaching the next generation of children how to keep our beaches safe during the summer while also providing them with personal development skills.
Junior Surf coaching courses are also run to train volunteer adults and parents how to coach the youngest members of the lifeguard service in beach safety, first aid, surf rescue, and competition activities.
