The SWEL

SWEL is committed to them because they are committed to you.

We are here for any first responder or veteran that needs us. Our goal is to make their career and lives rewarding, fulfilling, and happy.

Help us keep the good ones good and healthy.

SWEL's Mission is Simple:

These professional communities experience high levels of stress and trauma throughout their careers.

Often, the ability to process these events is the difference between living a fulfilling life OR succumbing to anxiety and despair.

Physical separation from a world of hyper-vigilance, high personal risk, adrenaline spikes and unpredictable encounters is key to the ability to manage stress.

Coupled with learning a new skill, the therapeutic sport of surfing promotes healing through improving one’s self-efficacy.

to help promote the health and wellness of Veterans and First Responders.

SWEL’s surf coaches have found refuge in the ocean and want to provide the same opportunity to decompress, disconnect and reinvigorate for the men and women who serve.
