Nippers: 2025/26 Nipper Confirmation
Confirmation emails were sent on 3 December to all families who submitted a Nipper Registration form. If you haven’t seen yours, please check your junk folder for an email from nippers.plslsc.com.au@k7axgg.sqspmail.com before contacting nippers@plslsc.com.au.
As outlined in the email, any Nippers who submitted a blank Swim Test (tsk tsk!) or have not yet completed one will need to attend the Swim Test session on 27 December at 12pm at the Ocean Grove Pool. If you already have a signed Swim Test but haven’t sent it through, please email it to nippers@plslsc.com.au before the program begins.
We are currently oversubscribed in the U9, U10 and U11 age groups. If your plans have changed, please notify both the Nipper team and the office as soon as possible. Families who no longer wish to continue with the program will receive a full refund. If you’d like to remain a club member but release your Nipper place, we can refund the Nipper Levy only.
Thank you for your cooperation as we prepare for another great season.
