Vegemite SurfGroms is a national Junior development program for 5-12yr olds that encourages kids to participate in surfing around Australia. Surfing is a great way to enjoy our beach environment safely, whilst also ingraining into them a healthy lifestyle that is proudly Australian!
Vegemite SurfGroms adopts an approach to learning that uses group-based games to not only equip your child with the skills they need to surf, but also to encourage their participation by having fun. Every Vegemite SurfGroms lesson is designed purposefully to create a positive and supportive learning environment so that every participant can experience the confidence and freedom of surfing for a lifetime.
Vegemite SurfGroms teaches 5-12 year olds core surfing skills in the ocean across 5 incremental skill levels, as well as fundamental Ocean Awareness and Beach Safety skills such as surf survival and rescue techniques; basic first aid skills; and about varying surf conditions at the beach.
Throughout the Vegemite SurfGroms program and each of the 5 skill levels, there is a significant focus on Ocean Awareness and Beach Safety. Surf conditions, etiquette, first aid, and basic surf rescue skills have all been incorporated into the Vegemite SurfGroms program. Before any Vegemite SurfGrom receives a completion certificate and their graded wristband for each level, they must have successfully demonstrated all of the relevant ocean awareness and beach safety skills.
