Buffalo Pond was born out of a combined love of water, the Lombok community and passion for Social Impact. We are working to provide a high quality swim safety experience whilst addressing the shocking reality of drowning rates in Indonesia. A recent (2020) OECD report found that there are 4,518 drownings per year in Indonesia. That is 13 drownings per day.
