[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banquet drama. My sister and her DD went to the banquet, as my sister put it, "dressed for the pool." My sister has never known what to wear when, and is clueless with respect to fashion. She was furious that everyone else was dressed for a party, and made that really clear -- she caused a problem when she accused some of the 12 year old girls as "dressing like they are 16" because they had cute dresses on while her DD had on shorts and an old tshirt. She was really just insecure about how she and DD hadn't understood what to wear. But yeah, she blamed everyone else and made a thing about it. Lol. Par for the course with her. [/quote]

Some years I dress for the pool, others I don’t.  It doesn’t really matter. I’m sorry your sister in law felt awkward, she shouldn’t have. I would have jumped in the pool with her.[/quote]

Same here. Our banquet is a mix of bathing suits and dresses. The kids get a kick out of dressing up, but in reality no one really cares. It’s definitely a “wear what you want” event at our pool. [/quote]

We're new this year and I would have appreciated something in the emails about it's a dress up event for some (optional of course).  We didn't know that and, since it was during pool hours and every other swim team thing has been beyond casual, assumed it was pool clothes.  No one cared (which was great! it was fun!), but I think my kids would have had fun dressing up and it's one of those things they could have clued the newbies in on. [/quote]

At our pool it really varies by year. The graduating senior girls always dress up. Some years other groups of girls will and some they won't. The drama comes in when girls who think they are part of a group aren't told [/quote]

Ooooh.  Yikes.  I am a mother of boys, I do not have this issue.  I guess it’s a thing![/quote]
