There no huge tidal flows , just normal , same as in Oz Brisbane etc. There are some rips around Kuta beach and other beaches so be careful and dont swim alone. Sanur is a great spot to swim if your wary , but I think Jimberian bay would also be ok (always check with locals though)it has steep drop off from the edge
there's a tide chart at http://www.baliwaves.com/
also some photos of Sanur Beach
Cheers
