The Mayor tried her hand at some of the first aid activities and she even had a go at the ninja warrior-style obstacle course.
Leanne Goggin from the club said they have good numbers registered so far – 125 junior lifesavers have already signed up.
“However, if you’d like your child to be involved in nippers, it’s not too late to start. Our first official nippers day starts this Sunday, October 22, from 9am,” she said.

Lifesavers have been back on patrol for almost a month, and rising spring temperatures have seen thousands flock to the beach meaning a busy start to the season for our valued volunteers.
Over 74,000 people registered with a Surf Life Saving Club during the 2016/17 season, but there’s always room for more.
“Surf Lifesavers contribute to the wellbeing of their community far beyond the beach,” said Surf Life Saving NSW CEO Steven Pearce.
“There are so many different roles to choose, from patrolling the beach on a weekend, helping with radio communications or fundraising, running the barbeque or managing a team of competitors at a surf carnival.
“All you need is a bit of passion and a willingness to get in and have a go, attributes which have been the hallmark of our movement for over a century,” he said.
