Although start dates will vary each year, Juniors tend to commence beach based training in early November. This date may vary due to weather conditions

Training is held at the following times:

Tuesdays    5 - 6.30 p.m.

Thursdays  5 - 6.30 p.m.

If the weather doesn't permit beach/water based training, Juniors will participate in Surf Awareness Education which is a required component of their Surf Life Saving Proficiency. Surf Awareness allows children to learn about safety on the beach & in the water, basic First Aid and recognising Surf conditions.

Due To Tasmania's weather not being conducive to year round beach and sea training, the Penguin S.L.S.C. holds bi-weekly indoor swim training during the Term 2 and 3 School Year. Swimming is held at the Ulverstone Indoor Swimming Pool and caters for children from age 6 through to senior members. Qualified swimming coaches are present to ensure that the training schedule is both enjoyable and progressive with children being assisted from learn to swim stage through to strength and endurance training.

Tuesday evenings 5.30 - 6:30

Thursday evenings 5.00 - 6.00

1 Child $40 per term plus $2 per night pool hire

2 Children $60 per term plus $2 per child per night pool hire
