Swimdo is proud to announce that we have been selected to speak at the World Conference for Drowning Prevention. Our team will be traveling to Perth, Australia to present on creating grass roots community based child drowning prevention interventions as well as on creating voluntourism programs.

Andrew, Swimdo’s US Director of Finance is here in Bali, and we have been working with him on important developments for our program. The efforts we are working towards will help to strengthen the foundation for Swimdo’s expansion to other part of Indonesia.

In 2022, Swimdo reached our goal to teach 1,500 students across Bali and some on the Island of Sumba. This year we will open more classes in Singaraja (North Bali) and Badung (the second largest regency in Bali). With these new schools, we hope to twice the number of students from this year.

It’s less than two months away from the end of 2022. Through November this year, Swimdo has taught over 1,300 students this year. Hopefully by the end of the year we will reach our target to teach 1,500 students.

I can’t believe it is November already. We are so busy as we are currently running classes from Monday – Friday with class sizes of 40-50 students. We are happy and excited with all the new faces in the pool that are eager to learn water safety, safe save techniques, and survival swimming!
