Port Nippers Information
Welcome to the Port Melbourne LSC Nippers Program for the 2025-2026 Life Saving Season.
The Port Melbourne LSC has been running our Nippers Program for many years now, each year our program gets bigger and better as we experience the national trend of families returning to the beach and recognising the quality of Junior Programs that Life Saving Clubs provide.
We strive each year to ensure that the quality of our program is at the highest standards. We constantly update our equipment and ensure that the beach and Club Rooms are safe and welcoming.
As a small and friendly Life Saving Club the goal of our Nippers Program is to promote beach safety, community involvement, learn Life Saving Skills and most of all to have fun.
We look forward to seeing you all down the beach this summer and hope everyone has a great time at Port Nippers.

Life Saving Victoria Nipper Education Information
Recently I trained as an Age Manager for the Nippers program. I gained an insight into many facets of the club. Not only does the club provide essential life saving skills for primary and secondary age students but provides a pathway for participants to become lifesavers. The philosophy- endorsed by Belinda - of Participation : Learning New Skills - Having Fun ; has created a huge participation rate with families coming from as far as Whittlesea."
My grandson Harrison said recently:
“Nippers gave me a lot of confidence.
I learned to read the tides, how to do
CPR and it overcame my fear of drowning “.
