Mary (Joan Evans) joins because she was dumped at the altar and wants to get away. Una (Vivian Blaine) joins because her boyfriend is in the Navy and she thinks she can get stationed near him. Una does run into her boyfriend, but they aren't stationed together. Mary's boyfriend joins the Navy to win her back, which he does. Whitney falls for Paul, the camp doctor, but he's hesitant because he thinks she's spoiled, but they end up together anyway.

Review - Skirts Ahoy!

Most of the numbers were dull, as was the entire movie. I really didn't care enough about any of the characters to care one way or another. Of course, being an Esther Williams movie, there had to be silly swimming sequences that have nothing to do with the movie. In one, she swims with two young children. In another, she swims with a blow-up sailor doll. Really.
