The Surf Life Saving WA Nipper & Youth Awards presented by the Scottish Masonic Charitable Foundation of Western Australia are a way to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our nipper and youth members across Western Australia.

Now in its seventh year, the event remains a highlight on the annual calendar, as we are joined by nearly 400 nipper and youth members and their families to celebrate the hard work of our finalists and award recipients.

To be held on Saturday, 16 May 2026 (opens in a new tab), categories to be awarded will include the Nipper and Youth Club Achievers, U14/U15 Lifesaver, Youth Official, Surf Sports Age Champions, and of course, the Nipper and Youth Member of the Year.

We also extend our thanks to the Scottish Masonic Charitable Foundation of Western Australia (opens in a new tab) for their ongoing support of these awards and our youth programs.
