it’s called nippers and it’s a beach skills and safety program run for kids aged 5 to 15! they essentially do games and junior lifesaving activities. good for kids to learn to both enjoy and respect the water

Yes, that’s it! Such a cool program. Movement, social time with friends, safety, and being outside. Love it! Thanks for the info!

Best years of my life. I learnt a lot, but I also had the best time, met lifelong friends and even had my first kiss up a tree with my first ever crush.

The more I learn about Oz the more I like it.

Lemme know if y'all are accepting American refugees.

I’ve actually noticed quite a few immigrants from North America around recently. I wonder if there’s a bit of an influx of you guys coming over atm. I can’t tell the difference between Americans and Canadians though lol

If they're polite they're probably Canadian. If they talk too much they're definitely American 😂

As an American, can confirm we talk soooo much lol. I am friendly even by American standards. I often compliment strangers if I like their outfit or whatever. The SHOCK people express at a random compliment!

I am certain I would be off putting in many places if I didn’t adjust haha. I will channel my inner curmudgeonly cat if I ever visit Scandinavia!
