A new comedy by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope & Jamie Wooten
Five southern women, whose friendship began on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend each year to recharge that friendship.  Free from husbands, kids, and jobs, they meet every August at the same beach cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to laugh, catch up, and meddle in each other's lives.  The Dixie Swim Club focuses no four of those weekends over a span of thiry-three years and demonstrates the power of teamwork and the strength of love.  A hilarious and touching comedy about friendships.
