Bali Ocean Swim
Type: Sport
Yayasan Damai Olahraga Bali/Bali Sports Foundation (BSF)
will hold the 4th annual Bali ocean swim at the world famous Kuta Beach.
The swim will be held over 3 distances - 1.2, 5 and 10 kilometres. The
swim is open to all: from amateur to world class, from local to
international, and from junior to masters.
BSF, a registered Indonesian charity started by international sportsman and businessman, Rodney Holt, and now governed by a Board of Trustees, was established in 2009 with a mission: "To improve the lives of children in Papua, Bali & East Indonesia by using the power of sport and play for development, health and peace."
BSF believes that sport can change lives.
Proceeds from the Bali ocean swim are used by the BSF to fund a swimming and water safety program for disabled children and youth in Bali. For example, one of the swimming programs is for deaf children in Gianyar, north-east of Kuta. The disabled swimming program is run regularly at six venues. Other projects run by the Foundation include Junior Self Defense, the Orphanage Sports Program, and Rugby Union.

BSF also wants to establish the annual Bali ocean swim at Kuta Beach as one of the world's premier ocean swims. The ocean swim is held across three distances - 1.2, 5 and 10 kilometres and the safety of swimmers is overseen by the Kuta Beach lifeguards (Balawista), to whom a donation is made. BSF have also been involved in establishing and supporting the Nippers program. Staff from BIMC hospital, a swim sponsor, will also be on hand to assist swimmers if necessary. From world class to amatuer, from local to international swimmers - the Bali ocean swim is a must do swim.
