Could it be due to the swimming pool's water?

after you swim rinse off immediately at the pool and then go home take a shower with dial soap, after you are done with the shower get some lotion or moisturizer and put it all over your body. this will help because the chlorine tends to dry up skin quickly if it has a lot in the pool....

Although your skin may be drying, it dries due to the pH balance of the water, not because of chlorine.
However, there is the possibility that you are allergic to some of the chemicals.
Your best bet is to take the advice of many of the other posters. Take a good shower and use a skin moisturizer after practice. If that does not work, try a mild anti-histamine and see if that works.
If THAT doesn't work, get a water sample and take it to a pool supply store. They will analyze the chemicals in the water (and then try to sell you pool chemicals). Get a print out of the analysis and take it to your doctor. Then, get checked for what is irritating you.

It's probably because the chlorine in the swimming pool is drying out your skin. Use moisturiser.

Use sunscreen. After coming out of the pool, oil your arms and legs well. Then have a bath and apply some cream! It really works! Since whn i strted swimmn i strted doing this n mi skin never went dry! Best of luck!

the chorline dries out your skin. When you get out of the pool dry off then use the body shop coconut dry oil spray then get dressed when you get home shower and use a moitrizing bodywash then after you get of the shower use a good smelling intensive coco butter lotion. Coconut is very good for dry skin and stops itching imeditly. Also smells REALLY good.

It's probably because of the chlorine. Make sure you rinse well after swimming and put lotion on after you shower, it should help
