NRC - NIPPER RESCUE CERTIFICATE (NRC) & REQUAL - FREE COURSE

Become qualified to provide Water Safety at Nippers

The Nipper Rescue Certificate (NRC) is a water safety and rescue award, enabling members
to provide water safety for Woodside Nipper activities.
It is designed to enable parents/guardians to formally assist in improving the delivery of
Nipper water based activities and create potential pathways to lifesaving operations such as
beach patrols or carnival water safety.
Proficiency requirements for the NRC include being able to complete a 200m ocean swim in
under 6 minutes, perform an aquatic rescue with a rescue tube and contact tow and
demonstrate signals. We will show you how to do the rescues and signals as part of your NRC
training.
Requalifications: To maintain currency, members who hold a NRC will need to undergo an
annual proficiency test at the club.
