Nipper Registration and Sign up

Pool Proficiencies

All our young members from Under 6 through to the Under 14 age groups must complete a pool proficiency annually prior to the commencement of Nippers.

Our sign-on and pool proficiency sessions will be held at Currumbin Primary School Pool on:

  • Sunday 23rd August, 8AM – 10AM
  • Saturday 12th September, 1PM – 3PM

If you’re unable to attend either date, you can complete your child’s proficiency through a qualified swim coach or swim teacher using our official Pool Proficiency form.

Once completed, please email the form to nippers@tugunslsc.com.au and surfadmin@tugunslsc.com.au. This must be done prior to the start of the Nippers season in order to participate.
