Five Southern women, whose friendships
began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long
weekend every August to recharge their 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. 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 that life flings at them. This is the story of these
five unforgettable women - a hilarious and touching comedy about
friendships that last forever.
Characters: 5 women (Ages
40-50) - women age 33 years during play

team captain, practical, supportive, full of energy, hyper-organized,
eternal tomboy, health nut, and all American mom from Raleigh, NC.
Dinah Grayson: Wise-cracking cynic of the group, lawyer in
prestigious Atlanta law firm, always armed with a dry martini and
an even drier sense of humor.
Lexie Richards: A true Southern belle from Chapel Hill, North
Carolina, vain, youth-obsessed, event planner for a chain of 4-star
hotels, keeps her cosmetic surgeon on speed dial in case she needs
a nip or tuck, single, and likes to share wild and hilarious tales
of her romantic exploits.
Jeri Neal McFeeley: Ditzy ray of sunshine of the group, perky,
naïve, always sees the positive side of things, was a nun for
many years so has been protected from life's seamier side.
Vernadette Simms: School teacher, marriage and motherhood
came right after college, has limited finances and a problematic
home life in Spivey's Corner, NC, but she faces her tribulations
with gallows humor and the unwavering support of her lifelong friends.
