The Hunter’s oldest surf life saving club – since 1908.
Throughout the surf lifesaving season Hunter Branch conducts a series of Junior Carnivals for age groups from U8 to U14.
Carnivals are held as competition between Nippers of different Surf Clubs with the season culminating with the Hunter Branch Championships, followed by the NSW State Age Surf Lifesaving Championships.
Other Carnivals and events are also held outside of this series, which Newcastle Nippers may compete in with the club’s permission.
We encourage all Nippers to represent our club in the black and white cap – we take pride in our teams and enter as many teams as possible.
