As with nearly all Surf Lifesaving clubs across the country Woolacombe SLSC has defined ‘sections’ determined by age. Whatever your age we have a section for you!
Nippers: Nippers (7-12yrs) are the youngest of our members and start competitive lifesaving sport from the age of 8 (Many Nippers will be eligible to compete whilst 7 provided there 8th birthday is within that calendar year) In addition to Nippers Woolacombe SLSC run sessions for younger children provided they can swim and will always need to be accompanied by a family adult
Youth: From the age of 12 children transition into the Youth(12-18yrs) section with an initial year as a ‘Nipper Junior’ In this year children can attend and compete within both sections
Senior: Sometimes know as ‘Open’ All members aged 16+ can attend and compete at this level
Masters 30+ Year old members are eligible to attend and compete within the Masters section
