About Us

If you are ever lonely go to the ocean and the ocean will wave back.



The school is run by Andy Jolly and Serena Lee. Andy is a passionate second generation Surfer, (his mother Jane, competed in the 1972 European Surf Championship, held at Lahinch Beach, Co. Clare), who also runs and operates http://www.barleycovesurfcamp.com in West Cork, since 2010!

The aim of our energetic and enthusiastic staff is to provide you with the best possible start to your “Surfing Life”. As with life, Education is key, so start your surfing life the right way, by learning the trick to all the tricks, from our Irish Surfing Association approved instructors.

The staff at Swell are dedicated to providing the most fun and safe environment for everyone to learn to surf. Surfing can be for everyone so we try to give you the very best introduction to surfing possible, to inspire a life long love of the ocean and adventure!

MEET THE SWELL CREW!

History of Swell!

The OG’s (Original Gangsters) that set up Swell back in 2009 were Liam Long(Who I used to BXM against in the 80’s as it happens), Eoin ‘Sticky’ & Aishling, his wife, who are still running the Surf 2 Heal, and are locals at Inch!

Luke Chambers had worked at Swell, and took over the business in 2015!

Luke is who I bought the school from, and I am hugely grateful for his help when setting up. It really allowed me to hit the ground running… Thank you Luke! and the OG’s too!
