Announcing!
Academy Award nominee and BAFTA Award winner @wunmimosaku joins Swim Sistas as Executive Producer 🌊
Speaking about the film, Wunmi shared: “The story of our relationship with swimming and water has so much depth and history, complexity that is so beautifully captured by Swim Sistas. This powerful film and its themes speak personally to me, as I know it does many others, and I could not be more excited to join as Executive Producer.”
So proud to be an EP on this magical film with my company @borninme and co-producer Amandla Crichlow supporting its journey, from its origins in @catherinejoywhite powerful vision, and her desire to celebrate Black women in the water, honouring the stories that came before us, inspiring a future generation and promising new chapters.
Beyond excited to welcome Wunmi to this project, championing this story, joining the incredible women onboard, @naomieharris who narrates, and swimmers @alicedearingx @roni.bruno @jasmine.boatswain @lexiesandiford
And of course the force of nature and creativity that is its writer, director and creator @catherinejoywhite

nah well I am just speechless bc Swim Sistas has officially been longlisted for the Oscars so really what else is there to say???😭
I started swimming in the midst of grief. The water, and the freedom I found in it, healed me. But 97% of Black British adults don’t swim so it became impossible for me to square the joy and healing I found in the water with the fact that the vast majority of my community didn’t experience that. Swim Sistas was my way of changing that reality, a love letter to water, sisterhood, belonging and writing our relationships with water back into existence. Through the stories of our beautiful swim sistas: @alicedearingx, Great Britain’s first Black female Olympic swimmer; rugby player and The Traitors contestant @jasmine.boatswain, teenage athlete @lexiesandiford and @roni.bruno, who learned to swim at the age of 54, the most talented team of collaborators who believed from the word go and a festival journey that has felt intergalactic, this film now has a beautiful legacy of its own.
And, on a week where I am having conversations with public institutions regarding getting Swim Sistas into schools across Europe there is something v beautiful about a film rooted in the simple belief that water is for all of us finding its way onto a global stage.
Thank you to the Academy, in advance to all voters and to every single person who has ever wondered whether they belong in a space or anyone finding their way back to one: Swim Sistas is for all of us. Oscar longlist babyyyyyy💙

Almost exactly a year since our premiere @docnycfest we’re so excited to share that Swim Sistas is returning to New York, this time for @reelsistersfilmfest, the Oscar-qualifying Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival 🥹✨
We’ll be screening on October 25th as part of AGAINST THE CURRENT, a gorgeous programme bringing together two documentaries about Black women and girls claiming space and creating new possibilities in swimming and ballet across generations.
This month has already been a madness, with so much happening behind the scenes and a whole lot more to come. In the meantime, thank you to everyone who has watched, shared, championed and connected with our Swim Sistas. More soon 🩵

@swimsistasfilm x @sohohouse 🩵
Joined forces with my sunshine sisters / baddest exec producers @afuahirsch & Amandla Crichlow for a v special screening of Swim Sistas.
97% of Black British adults and 80% of Black children don’t swim but the point is that every single one of us deserves to know the freedom of what it is to float.
Through our Swim Sistas, an Olympian, a rugby player, a first-time swimmer and a teen athlete, we are reclaiming that freedom and doing so with a sisterhood by our side.
Thank you to the beautiful community who showed out last night, many of whom are pioneers in their own right across literature, film, politics, community and yes, swimming.
Here is to forever changing those narratives, doing so with j o y and continuing to float 💙

This film addresses two of the most important questions about sexual violence in eastern Congo
How can we look away from a war on women’s bodies, if this magnitude? Last year, in one 9 month period more than 80,000 reported cases alone. Numbers hard to comprehend
And, what can we do?
Muganga is adapted from the true story of Dr Denis Mukwege - who has treated that number of women and been demanding our attention for over three decades
Do not look away from this story
Im so grateful to @davidoyelowo and @danaigurira for showing up for this crucial film and conversation, along with director @mariehroux and @creativeafricanexus at @tiff_net

Swim Sistas wins the Jury’s Choice award at Oscar Qualifying Thomas Edison Film Festival 😭❤️🔥
Cannot believe I am even saying these words (just weeks after our premieres at Oscar qualifiers @hiffhawaii, @docnycfest and Best Short Film win at @kendalmountainfestival last weekend!) but Swim Sistas has won the Jury’s Choice award at the Academy Award® qualifying Thomas Edison Film Festival.
Now in its 45th year, The TEFF Jury’s Choice is a prestigious award for extraordinary films that have pushed boundaries, told important stories, and raised the bar for film as an art form.
We will tour around the US in 2026 with the festival 🫶🏽
Thank you to Jane and all at TEFF for this honour, to our enormously talented team and especially to our swim sistas for sharing their stories with the world. None of this would be possible without you.
One month in and we are officially an award winning film at an Oscar qualifying festival 😭🤍

Get ready for our most magical project yet 💫
“Swim Sistas,” a new documentary celebrating Black women’s relationship with swimming by the incredibly talented filmmaker, actor and author @catherinejoywhite - a “poetic and visually rich love letter to water, sisterhood, and the resilience of Black women across generations.”
@naomieharris narrates as Mami Wata, embodying ancestral strength and hope for the future.
Featuring original poetry written by White, Swim Sistas is “a heartfelt exploration of visibility, community and reclamation”
The film follows four Black British women: @alicedearingx , the U.K’s first and only Black female Olympic swimmer, professional rugby player and “The Traitors” contestant Jasmine Boatswain, teenage athlete Lexi Sandiford and Roni Bruno, who learned to swim at the age of fifty-four.

Introducing SWIM SISTAS 💙
I am so unbelievably proud to announce my next film, a documentary that dives into the power of water, the strength of sisterhood and the beauty of existing - as ourselves - in this space.
My own swimming journey began with grief, grew through community & now swims in joy.
Swim Sistas basks in that, telling a story of connection, belonging and growth. It is a love letter to healing, heritage, hope and pure vibesssss that features and has been supported / brought to life by a team of absolute wonders. I cannot wait to share more about them soon!
Swim Sistas is for every Black woman who has ever felt the water call her name.
For actually, we don’t just swim.
We resist.
We belong.
We rise - and we float.
Follow @swimsistasfilm for updates and watch this space 💙
