[quote=Anonymous]At our pool it is really important. Themes seem to be part of swim culture and a lot of the high schools dress up for varsity meets too. It is a throwback tradition. My kids love it. Thrift stores are great resources and age group trip can be a fun bonding experience (all the 12 year old girls bought outfits for the prom theme -less than $10 a piece - and had a ton of fun trying on stuff). I also recommend having themes announced at the beginning of the season so kids can plan ahead. Our team also tried to do a few themes that require no buying (team colors, sports jerseys, red/white/blue come to mind). Pro tip from a parent of college kids: keep a dress up closet. Between dress up days and Halloween costumes, my kids use ours a ton. We had neon, USA, tropical, and all the Halloween costumes in the basement and stuff was worn over and over a lot. [/quote]
