Age Manager / Assistant Age Manager
Age managers are critical to the success of our nippers. Where numbers allow, we try to pair new Age Managers with an experienced Age Manager.
Especially in the younger ages, you don't need any experience with surf life saving. We are looking for people who want to see the nippers having fun learning new skills and lead organised activities each week (we have an activity cheat sheet). The younger age groups spend their time on the sand or at the baths. Under 6/7s is a great place to start as an Age Manager!
To be an Age Manager you are required to do a short online course and be a member of Merewether SLSC.
For the Under 9s and above it is great if we can have as many parents with their Bronze Medallion or Surf Rescue Certificate so we can give kids the best experience each week (we require 1:5 ratio for all water activities for kids who have completed the required proficiencies).
If you are interested in being an Age Manager or an Assistant Age Manager, please nominate the age group you would like to assist. Age groups are based on the nippers age at 30 September 2025; eg if your child is 8 on this date they will join the Under 9s.
