WHO: Five women, ages 35-55
SHEREE HOLLINGER, the perennial team captain, is practical, supportive and a fount of
boundless energy. Never without her to-do lists or Pocket Scheduler, her tendency to
be hyper-organized occasionally drives her friends a bit crazy. She's the eternal tomboy,
a health nut and an all-American mom who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her
family.
DINAH GRAYSON, the wise-cracking cynic of the group, has fought her way to the top
and relishes the view. A lawyer in the biggest and most prestigious law firm in Atlanta,
Dinah excels at everything ... except romance. Armed with a dry martini and an even
drier sense of humor, Dinah seldom reveals her softer side as she tackles life head-on.
LEXIE RICHARDS, a true Southern belle who lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is the
vain, youth-obsessed event planner for a chain of four-star hotels. She has never shied
away from the occasional nip or tuck and keeps her cosmetic surgeon on speed dial.
Always one to revel in her status as a man-magnet, Lexie can be counted on to share
wild and hilarious tales of her romantic exploits.
JERI NEAL MCFEELEY is the ditzy ray of sunshine of the group. She's perky and naive
and always sees the positive side of everything. Having been a nun for many years, Jeri
Neal has been protected from life's seamier side. Even though she appears to be
predictable on the surface, Jeri Neal, recently relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia,
continually makes life choices that surprise and amaze her friends.
VERNADETTE SIMMS is a hard luck case if there ever was one. Marriage and motherhood
came shortly after college, a dark cloud has hovered above her ever since. A public
school teacher, with limited finances and a problematic home life in Spivey's Corner,
North Carolina. Vernadette is self-deprecating by necessity. She faces her tribulations
with gallows humor and the unwavering support of these lifelong friends.

THE STORY:
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…
