The story is about five southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, and 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. 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 youth and looks as long as possible. She enjoys being married, over and over again. The self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette, acutely aware of the dark cloud that hovers over her life, has decided 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 around their own with 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, and is a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever.
