I'm a recreational, workout swimmer and I suffer from irritating chafing under my arms after particularly long freestyle stints. Is this a common thing? Help? Appreciated.

Are you a guy or a woman? If you're a woman, it may be the bathing suit...not necessarily too tight, but the threads in the stitching may be irritating you...try rubbing parafin or candle wax over the stitches
For either gender...maybe you are dropping your elbow on the catch. If so, this can cause the skin on your upper inner arm to rub against the side of your chest...particularly if there's any excess flesh there...
