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, the “Sweet Delilah” on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh, and meddle in each other’s lives
The Sweet Delilah 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 Sweet Delilah Swim Club is the story of these five unforgettable women
An hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever…
