Swim programs
Buffalo Pond offers high quality swimming lessons and water safety programs. Whilst we work to rally with donors and community partners to build our very own pool (exciting) we currently offer programs from batpool and private villas and pools around Kuta Lombok.
Discover a world of aquatic opportunities at Buffalo Pond with our diverse programs including water safety, disability inclusion, squad training, and age-specific lessons.
Our programs
(6 months – 3 years)
Our infant programs generally start from 6 months to approximately 3 years of age. Students explore the water and various safety skills with a parent or supervisor in the water with them.
(3-5 years old)
Our pre-school programs are based on water familiarisation, body orientation, safety and survival skills.
(5 years onwards)
School age programs build on preschool programs. They introduce more technical elements to the various swimming strokes.
Programs that cater to different levels of swimming, from those wanting to increase speed, distance and stroke variety.
We offer lessons to adults of all abilities. From learning to swim through to stroke correction and training classes for personal growth or competition purposes.
We offer ocean and open water swim safety classes to children and adults who want to advance their skills in open water environments.
Private Lessons
We provide lessons that can be customised to fit your specific goals & schedule, whether it's improving a particular swimming stroke, preparing for an ocean swim, or enhancing your streamline technique.
