So how is swell changing ripple?

Can anyone give  me some info on swell and how it will help ripple?

Nobody knows exactly.  Consider it as tight lipped as J.J. Abrams and Star Wars.  Brad Garlinghouse has said there will be big news however it isn't known what that is.  Lots of speculation.  

Swell basically is to bring together a large group of bank "liaisons" or "decision makers" and convince them of the ripple/xrp benefit.   Read through some other posts for more detailed review.  It looks like you are brand new so take some time and read up.

It won't. This conference is a second Consensus. But you don't remember this non-event, right? And all the hype about it. Long story short, back then Ripple employees were excited and promised something "uuuge". But that conference didn't lead XRP to $1 - it led to nothing. Just as many hyped non-events did before in Ripple history. Luckly, this time Joel Katz tried to prevent XRP holders from overexpectations. He put it clearly, while talking about Swell:

It will help Ripple both PR wise as to get a larger customer base.  Now for XRP it’s another game. As long as there is no substantial, massive inflow of new capital into crypto, XRP will be “victim”  of money flowing from BTC to altcoins and vice versa. Pump and dumps. And pump and dumps happen almost always unexpected and by surprise. Reason for it being absent at the moment?

Anyway: my guess is that Swell will prove its added value once the massive inflow of new money into crypto takes place. Because due to Swell newcomers choose XRP as a coin worth to invest in. 

It can happen tomorrow, or in 1 year from now. But it won’t take 5 years imo.

I agree that it won't affect the price as we are all hoping for but it will definitely be good for ripple and XRP for now and in the future. This clearly isn't another Consensus....
