Beyond the Swap

Surfing Moms: Beyond the Swap is for those who want the community and connection—without participating in childcare swaps. This space welcomes women who wants to surf, connect, and support maternal well-being. We believe the ocean is for every woman, at every stage of life.


What is Beyond the Swap?

You’ll still be part of the same supportive, welcoming community—just without the reciprocal childcare exchange.

  • Moms with older or school-aged kids

  • Moms with childcare already in place

  • Expecting moms preparing for postpartum

  • Women in all life stages, including peri/post menopause
