Age groups and start times are listed below. SESSION 1 START: 7.30AM FINISH: 8.50AM
SESSION CHANGE: 8.50AM TO 9.10AM SESSION 2 START: 9.10AM FINISH: 10.30AM
Swim Confidence Group Alex Hillston will be running our Confidence Group again this season. This is before the start of Minnows on Sunday mornings. All enquiries please contact your Age Manager. Drop Off This year parents should drop children off at our designated drop off point located at the Northern End of our beach. Children will be counted onto the beach where they will then be taken directly to their Age Group Zone. Parents should ensure that Minnows arrive with Caps on, pink rashies on, white shirts, water bottles (full), towels, sun-cream applied and having been to the toilet. Pick Up Parents can collect their children at the designated Pick Up point located at the Southern End of the Minnows Area at the end of their session. Kids and Volunteers Only This year only Minnows and registered/ double vaccinated volunteers are permitted onto the beach area. Parents should therefore ensure Minnows arrive completely ready to participate. The Randwick City Council has advised us that parents may not congregate on the Promenade or otherwise adjacent to the Minnows area during Minnows time. The Rangers and Lifeguards will enforce this strictly and if we break the rules we risk Minnows being shut down for everyone. We want to avoid that. Thank you for your compliance. Minnows offers a fun and active lifestyle choice for children between the ages of 5 and 13, as well as a solid base for learning lifesaving skills and competition in beach activities. Minnows kids are taught everything from sun and surf safety, beach sprints and board paddling, all the way to lifesaving skills, CPR and water rescues.
The Minnows family is not just about the children, it also encompasses “Nipper Parents” who choose to get involved with either teaching beach activities to the kids or who want to achieve their own milestones like completing their Age Managers/Assistants Award or Bronze Medallion. |
