Kids from all around the country are learning water skills at the Riversdale Surf Life Saving Club Nippers Lifesaving programme.
Club captain Mike Taylor said the kids were progressing well and enjoying it.
The Nippers programme ends with a carnival competition, outside the surf lifesaving club on Sunday, January 20.
Tomorrow the second annual Triathlon will be held at Riversdale Beach for 5- to 8-year-olds, 9- to 12-year-olds and 13- to 17-year-olds, including a run, swim and bike ride with varying difficulty levels for each.
Organiser Andy Matthews said the triathlon is about kids getting active and having fun irrespective of ability.
The competition will begin at 9am and there will be a $5 entry fee for prospective competitors with the proceeds going to the surf club.
