Surf Babies
Our children’s programs give kids and their families the chance to learn important water safety skills through fun, play-based activities. By starting early, we help children build lifelong safety habits and confidence around the water. We offer a range of programs for children as young as one.
Surf Babies is our program for little beach lovers and their parents. It’s designed to grow water confidence and early aquatic safety skills, while encouraging a lifelong love of the beach. Parents gain confidence too — learning how to spot hazards, supervise safely in open water, and create beach/water familiarity for the children.
Surf Babies is a shared experience — it’s just as much for parents as it is for children. Adults are actively involved in every part of the program across the full six weeks, learning and playing side by side with their child.
