Nippers season ends Despite some wild, and plenty of wet weather, it’s been another fun filled season for the nippers. Each of the children who have participated in nippers should have benefited from the program through better safety awareness, surf skills, rescue techniques, first aid/CPR, not to mention the friendships that have developed, and the hours of fun they’ve had. The last day of nippers brought a highlight in the form of a visit from the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. The crew presented an interesting talk for the nippers, and the kids were allowed to sit in and look through the chopper, and talk to the crew, who were happy to answer all of their questions.
