If I get out of the water too soon after I stop swimming, I feel a little dizzy and get a slight headache/stomachache. It always goes away in a few minutes. If I wait at least 5 minutes before getting out of the pool, I'm fine. This only happens in/during practice, never after races. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a something I can do to stop it?

Blood rusing from your head making you dizzy is called "postural hypotension" low blood pressure when going to a standing position.
Maybe you are dehydrated and need to drink water during your workouts.
Or, are you on an antihypertensive medication? If so, let your Dr know what is happening.
Dont let this go to far or you may end up falling on the deck and injuring yourself. Take Care.
