The Dixie Swim Club tells the story of five Southern women whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team. Every August they get together for a long weekend to renew those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to do what girlfriends do best – laugh, gossip and snoop into each other's lives. The story focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years.
Sheree (Stephanie Ahlberg), the energetic team captain, desperately tries to maintain her organized and "perfect" life, and continues to be the group's leader. Dinah (Pamela Ciochetti), 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 (Hilda L. Roe), 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 bitter Vernadette (Floriana Alessandria), who is very 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 (Jayme Catalano) who lives in a convent, has some news to share that will take them all by surprise.
As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another to get through life’s challenges of men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, and aging. And when fate throws a wrench into one of their lives, these friends, proving the enduring power of "teamwork," rally around their own with the strength and love that takes this comedy in a moving and surprising direction. The Dixie Swim Club is directed by Linda Dunn, produced by Maureen O’ Donoghue.
