2026 Bush Nippers launches in Regional Victoria
Education
Water safety isn’t just for the beach. Nippers isn’t just for beach kids.
We are travelling throughout regional Victoria delivering the adapted Nippers costal program to run regionally and rurally, designed to build lifesaving and water safety knowledge for children aged 5-14 in open water environments.
Our first Bush Nippers programs launched in Narrawong located in southwest Victoria, Cobram at Thompson’s Beach and Echuca down at Moama Beach this month and it’s so good, some participants returned for a fifth year in a row!
Bush Nippers not only provides lifesaving education it can help create pathways into swim teaching, pool lifeguarding, and aquatic sports careers.
Thank you to our incredible partners Narrawong District Association, Moira Shire Council, Barooga Aquatic and Recreation Centre in Cobram, and Campaspe Shire Council in Echuca, for a fantastic start to our Bush Nippers Lifesaving Education Program!
