The Nipper Rescue Certificate is for parents/guardians who wish to become involved in their children’s Woodside Nipper water based activities.
We strongly recommend all parents/guardians undertake this course as the club is required to fulfil set ratios to comply with Woodside Nipper water safety requirements.
It is also a great pathway to lifesaving operations such as volunteer lifesaving or water safety for Surf Sport Carnivals or Woodside Nippers.
