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 @variety ✨ 05 Nov 2026

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💙 30 Oct 2026

longlisted for an Oscar and went back to my hometown to the very studio I used to see on TV as a child and wonder why there was so much sadness in the world, only this time I had a say, and I spoke about hope and joy and community and sisterhood and representation and swimming 🥹🥹🥹 @swimsistasfilm x @bbceastofengland ft. pure pure joy ✨ 10 Nov 2026

From personal loss to rediscovering her love of swimming, filmmaker Catherine Joy White has transformed a deeply personal journey into something far more powerful. Through her moving documentary Swim Sistas, she celebrates the stories of Black women, explores the cultural barriers around swimming, and highlights the importance of representation, community, and belonging. Speaking exclusively to Revamp, Catherine opens up about the film’s inspiration, its growing international success, and her ambitions to take its message even further.

bonfire night with this explosion of joy 🎇 The stunningly talented @wunmimosaku has come on board to executive produce @swimsistasfilm 🥹 When I first got into an icy cold lake, trying to swim away my grief and discovered that 97% of Black people in the UK do not swim, I knew I had to do something about it. I never once imagined that we would one day be sharing a message of healing and reclamation on a global stage like this. It is not lost on me now that Wunmi joining our powerhouse team fresh off the back of our Oscar longlisting announcement takes our message of community, hope, beauty and Black female joy all the way to the stars. Sisterhood is forever, community is forever, we all deserve to feel joy and the water is for EVERYONE. Let’s keep on diving in 💙 05 Nov 2026

birthing book number 3 / novel number 1 in the Indonesian mountains, ft. yoga, swims, middle-of-the-night hikes into sunrise, water ceremonies, chakra ceremonies, foraged food, a creative reset, beautiful people, new friends and a little portal out of the madness of it all and back into my imagination. Thank you Bali & The Writer’s Portal for your verdant, kind embrace 🌿🌊🌺🌱✍🏽 29 Oct 2026

Climbing a 5000 ft live volcano in the middle of the night seemed like the ideal ritual to embody our writers’ transformation after a week of peaceful writing retreat 👀😅 It was harder than we thought! And also more magical ✨ @writers.portal 23 Oct 2026

Somewhere above London ✨ What a night! We were delighted to be invited to Travers Smith for a special screening of Swim Sistas in celebration of Black History Month. With stunning views of St Paul’s, we followed the screening with a panel discussion between director @catherinejoywhite and two of our incredible Swim Sistas, @alicedearingx and @roni.bruno. The discussion explored everything from finding our way to water through grief, the barriers that have historically kept Black communities out of swimming, the power of representation all the way what it actually means to create change and honour our communities. And the conversations didn’t stop when the screening ended! We spent hours connecting with guests over delicious Caribbean-inspired food continuing the conversation long into the evening 🩵 Swimming is about so much more than what’s happening in the water. It’s about possibility and making space for generations to come. A huge thank you to the wonderful team at Travers Smit and here is to more rooms, more conversation, more opportunities to keep changing the narrative and more ways to keep on floating 🌊 22 Oct 2026

@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 💙 - Photos by THE @simonrphoto 06 Oct 2026

A little glimpse into a very special night for Swim Sistas 🩵 97% of Black British adults and 80% of Black children in England don’t swim, but @swimsistasfilm doesn’t just sit with that statistic. Instead, it looks at what happens when water is reclaimed as a place of freedom, joy, possibility and community. Through the stories of an Olympian, a rugby player, a first-time swimmer and a teen athlete, Swim Sistas asks who gets to feel at home in the water and what it means to find that freedom together. On Monday evening, we gathered with a beautiful community at @sohohouse to share the film, followed by a powerful panel discussion hosted by @afuahirsch. The conversation ranged from becoming the face of a global movement to swimming through grief to confronting the very serious business of swim caps and edges 🙃 @swimsistasfilm is our poetic love letter to water, sisterhood and resilience. Water is for all of us 🩵 🎥 @simonrphoto 07 Oct 2026
