Registration & Swim Competency

Registration

Registration for nippers at FMSLSC occurs each September.  Please be aware that the nipper program is not a learn-to-swim school.

For any registration enquiries contact FMSLSC administration:

Swim Competency

For safety and development reasons, junior activity participants (U8 to U13) shall complete a “proficiency evaluation” at the start of the season. There is ALSO a proficiency evaluation that is required to be completed for ALL junior and senior competitors (U10 to U13) at SLSWA carnivals.

This is different and separate to the club proficiency swim at the start of the season.

Season Start Preliminary Proficiency Swim

Water proficiencies are a very important part of Fremantle Surf Life Saving Club’s initial assessments for safety as well as competence.  All junior members (nippers) in Under 8 to Under 13 wishing to enter the water during nipper activities MUST have a basic level of swim competency and hence complete the required swim proficiency at the start of each season, as outlined below. Any child not able to complete the proficiency will not be able to take part in the season nipper program and their membership will be refunded.

Preliminary Swim Proficiency Requirements  ~  Pool Proficiency Requirements 

It is a SLSA requirement that all nippers in the Under 8’s age group and above complete a proficiency swim at the start of each season.
