Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their
college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge
those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at
the same beach cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to catch up,
laugh and meddle in each other's lives. THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB focuses
on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three
years. Sheree, the spunky team captain, desperately tries to maintain
her organized and "perfect" life, and continues to be the group's
leader. Dinah, the wisecracking overachiever, is a career dynamo. But
her victories in the courtroom are in stark contrast to the
frustrations of her personal life. Lexie, pampered and outspoken, is
determined to hold on to her looks and youth as long as possible. She
enjoys being married-over and over and over again. The
self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette, acutely aware of the dark
cloud that hovers over her life, has decided to just give in and
embrace the chaos. And sweet, eager-to-please Jeri Neal experiences a
late entry into motherhood that takes them all by surprise. As their
lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one
another, through advice and raucous repartee, to get through the
challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging) that life
flings at them. And when fate throws a wrench into one of their lives
in the second act, these friends, proving the enduring power of
"teamwork," rally 'round their own with the strength and love that
takes this comedy in a poignant and surprising direction. The
Dixie Swim Club is the story of these five unforgettable
women-a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last
forever...
