Inclusive Nippers – Wanda Red Fins

Wanda Red Fins Nippers is an Inclusive Nipper Program which runs alongside Mainstream Nippers. The Red Fins program is for kids and their families that deal with challenges; such as Autism, Physical\Intellectual Disabilities and Vision\Hearing impairments, and is focused on providing a more relaxed nipper program with extra support for the kids and removing the barriers of getting these kids to the beach and in the water.

Come down to the Wanda Open Day on Sunday 15th September from 9am to see give Nippers a test drive or come to the Parent Information Night Wanda SLSC 6.30 - 8.30pm.
