As the season has drawn to a close, it’s an exciting time to see members be recognized and rewarded for their efforts throughout the 22/23 season. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic lingering last year, the Surf Lifesaving WA Nipper & Youth Awards, presented by the Scottish Masonic Charitable Foundation of WA, had been postponed to later in 2022. However, recipients can look forward to having an on-time presentation this year, when the awards day runs on the 29th of April.

These awards recognize and celebrate the achievements of our younger members, with categories awarded including Gold Level – Youth Leadership Program, Youth Official, U14/U15 Athlete and Lifesaver, and Nipper and Youth of the Year.
