Well, if your face is painted, you can almost fall in the pool, then slip on your....behind. (Was going to use a word that I shouldn't on a family forum). As for your costume, I would say the pants would be better. You will probably be more likely to be outrageous if you weren't worried about showing off your skivies (underwear). Or you could wear some bright polka dotted shorts underneath a skirt. Also, anything cotton would work out. It won't get ruined if you get it wet, it's not terribly expensive, and it won't bleed color is you wash the fabric before you sew the pattern (which you should do anyway). I would stay away from velvet, satin, silk, crepe, and anything heavy.
