This uplifting short film explores the community, camaraderie, and vulnerability of a close-knit group of wild swimmers. They are preparing to take the plunge into performance.

In 2022, Diverse City and The Mowlem Theatre in Swanage were proud to present SW!M. This live event was inspired by the open conversations had between women, wild swimming in Swanage Bay.


Swim Club zooms in on the cast, all women between 50 and 70, as they prepare for their first-ever performance in front of an audience. Director Steven Lake examines the cheerful bravery of these women as they make themselves vulnerable to the audience, the elements, and each other.


Join them as they support one another through rehearsals, performance, and a lot of very cold water in Swim Club.


Swim Club is a short film from Diverse City and The Mowlem Theatre. Supported by The Space.
