WHERE: Hampton Life Saving Club
Please allow extra time to park and walk to the club as parking on nippers day can be busy

WHAT TO BRING:
Adults must stay on the beach and sign Nippers in and out. Nippers is not a kiss-and-go program.
Sunscreen applied before you arrive
Water bottle
High-vis rashie—fluoro green (buy from our club merchandise)
Broad-brim hat—lifesaving follows a no hat/no play rule
Shirt with shoulders covered for beach activities
Wetsuit—we hope the weather and water quality improve, but even on 21 and sunny days, the water temperature in November is only around 18 degrees. On windy, cooler or cloudy days, a wetsuit is a good choice.
Goggles
Towel
Bathers
Warm clothes for after/the ride home.
Card to tap for purchases at the kiosk, BBQ and bar

Key Notes:
All Nippers must be signed out, so patrollers know they are safely out of the water and in your care.
Parents must actively supervise their children for the entire duration of each session.

Finally our program is currently including water activities but please note this is subject to change to a dry program if the weather and water quality works against us. All children (if water permits) will be completing their JPSE Swim tomorrow.

See you on the beach!

Erin Reed
Director of Junior Activities
