Led by Australian Olympic gold medallist Bob Windle, the inaugural Bali Ocean Swim saw 33 swimmers from Indonesia, Germany, Singapore, Australia, the USA, and Russia take on the waves of world-famous Kuta Beach.

Under the watchful eyes of Bali’s lifeguards, Balawista, every swimmer successfully completed the challenging 5 km and 1.2 km courses. Among the cheering spectators were children with disabilities, whose lives are transformed through mobility and swimming lessons supported by the foundation.
