Balawista Nippers // Sat, 13 Aug 11
For the first time in a number of years,a nippers program is being held at Kuta Beach, Bali every Sunday morning from 8-10am. Since April 2011 ‘Toni’s Nippers in Bali’ has been training children in water safety and surf awareness in order to support drowning prevention and reduction in Bali. The program is provided free and is open to children of all ages, for locals, ex-pats and those stopping by on holidays. It is funded by 11-year-old Toni-Lee Bromley from Sorrento in Western Australia who has been fundraising for some time now and has also supplied Balawista (the local Lifeguards) with equipment such as boards, balls, hoops and a rescue tube in order to run the program successfully.Further funding comes from Bali Sports Foundation .

2nd Bali Ocean Swim 2011 // Mon, 04 Jul 11
In Bali, along the south coast between Seseh Beach and Nusa Dua almost 300 people are rescued by the Balawista Surf Lifesaving each year, with approximately 5% becoming a fatality statistic. Many of those rescued are Indonesians on holidays who have little or no understanding of the dangers and no experience with water awareness and/or survival techniques. Children are our most treasured asset and anything we can do to protect them or to make them safer is well worth the effort. Do you agree?

BATTERED by a strong current, avoiding dead fish and pulling rubbish from her swimsuit, Amy-Lee O’Connor could be forgiven for questioning her decision to take on an open water swim in Bali.
But the strong-willed 17-year-old from Cooloongup remained focused on her goal of saving a small orphanage from financial hardship and completed the 8km swim from Kuta to Seminyak last month.
