33 summers, 5 women, 1 beach house...a great comedy!

Five Southern women, whose friendship began on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend each year to recharge that friendship. Free from men, 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 on four of those weekends over a period of thirty plus years.
