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!

Yeh ..I have noticed this for years.
A hot shower always works for me.
If I go to bed without a shower I get hot and sweaty from the chlorine.
I vaguely remeber reading that the chlorine prevents the skin from breathing...can't remember exactly how.
I can sometimes smell chlorine when showering even if I haven't showered for 24hrs.
