The Swellness Organization is dedicated towards recognizing the importance of mental health by teaching people how to surf and skate as a form of aerobic therapy (non-licensed therapist). We offer free lessons to all who are interested, plan beach beautification clean ups every month, and volunteer at a multitude of charity programs.

Surf Lessons

Free surf lessons every weekend! Materials provided.

Our organization was started in May, 2024 by Trey Williams as a club at Oak Park High School, gaining popularity over the following year. This spread Swellness to multiple different schools, as well as gaining the opportunity to partner with other known ocean-related businesses. We have had over 200 lessons ranging from advanced to beginner levels, teaching or improving the surfing ability of everyone involved, alongside spreading awareness for mental health.

Collective Volunteer Hours

We hope to continue growing this program for years to come, as well as working towards making mental health a primary focus in our community and across the world. Our future plans involve bringing this organization to colleges throughout the nation and starting a non profit organization that spreads this same message.

We have had a total of eight independent different beach clean ups moving locations each time, as well as joining other programs with their own beautification activities. We have completed over one thousand hours of community service through these efforts, with an average of 50 attendees at each event. 

This year, we have introduced skating lessons to our organization, being more accessible as it can be done locally and helps people learn a new skill that mimics the art of surfing. These lessons have the same goal of positive mental health and utilize the same techniques used in a surfing lesson.
