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.
A social enterprise is a business that combines the principles and practices of both traditional for-profit enterprises and non-profit organizations to achieve social and/or environmental goals. The primary aim of a social enterprise is to create positive change in society or the environment while also generating revenue to sustain and grow its operations.

How Buffalo Pond’s Scholarship Program Works (And Why It Matters)

Buffalo Pond's Scholarship Program has given 150 children safe water education through funded cohorts over the past two years, removing financial barriers so access is determined by need, not income.

Buffalo Pond Turns Two

Two years ago, Buffalo Pond started with a simple idea: helping people feel safer and more confident in and around the ocean. What began as a small initiative has grown steadily, shaped by the people who joined us in the water along the way.

Building Confidence, One Splash at a Time

Our 10-week community swim program helps children learn, play, and grow through free lessons — building courage and connection beyond the pool.
