Registration Form can be downloaded here Proficiency Swims Coogee Minnows is not a swim school. Instead it develops surf skills and confidence in children around an aquatic environment. In order to participate in ALL activities on the beach,
individuals
must achieve a minimum proficiency level. This minimum requirement, established by Surf Lifesaving Australia, is known as a Preliminary Evaluation . This is the proficiency evaluation that will take place on registration days. At
the two registration days, juniors will be encouraged to undergo
preliminary evaluation
to participate in ANY activity on the beach. Each boy and girl will
be
timed and nippers that want to compete will have to complete the Competition
Evaluation in first few weeks on
the beach. This is a change from previous seasons
where competition evaluations could be done in the pool How
Parents can get involved at Coogee Minnows! Coogee Minnows proudly boasts the best parent participation of all the Junior Surf Life Saving Clubs. Currently we have over 140 qualified Water Safety volunteers (Bronze Certificate minimum qualification) and a further 250 parent Age Assistants on the beach. As
a voluntary organisation
we need help from you, the parents and guardians, to be able to make
Minnows an enjoyable experience for all our 840 Minnows. Important

All
Minnows are instructed in
surf safety and awareness and are tested by the club. Children will
receive the necessary instruction to achieve their award throughout the
season. This is called the Surf Education and Skills Development
program. This program is an essential part of the Minnows season, a
requirement for participation in major carnivals, and is the official
award from SLSA (Surf Lifesaving Australia). |

We have a supply of almost 100 Nipper boards and children are able to use these boards during competition. Under 9s & Under 10s use a foam surf board. Under 11s through to Under 13s can use fibre glass boards. The under 14s will this season be using
our new Racing Mals. Only under 14s who have been trained on these
boards are allowed to use them. |

are not a babysitting service.
Minnows can take three hours or more on some days so it is imperative
that parents NEVER leave their child unattended at Minnows. |
