Does anyone get unbelievably, overpoweringly itchy after swimming? It is so bad some nights that I literally can't get to sleep!
It is worst where my skin is getting stretched or where it is touching the couch or bed or whatever, and it is pretty much restricted to my upper body...
I at least rinse off after each workout, if not take a full on shower.. Anyone else get this, or have any solutions?
Help!

If there's a Lush store near you, they have lots of bath bomb thingies that you dissolve in a bath. I had one of those "I can't sleep because I'm so itchy" things going on last night and I put one (pink and marshmallow scented :) in the tub. Slept like a baby. (Not in the tub, of course. :)
They might have some with slightly less girly scents too.
I also think you probably need to shower not just rinse after swimming, and I agree on the 'lots of lotion' ideas.
