Your skin is coated with an oily/waxy substance called sebum (sebum is secreted through hair follicles from the sebaceous gland) that acts as a defense from water. After spending a lot of time in water, the sebum washes off, leaving the epidermis (top layer of cells that make up the skin) exposed to the water.
Cells have a lower concentration of water due to the fact that they contain other things, such as organelles, which makes it the hypertonic solution when placed in pool water because the water in the pool has a higher concentration of water, which makes it the hypotonic solution. Osmosis (the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane) always occurs from areas of high concentration to low concentration, and hypotinc to hypertonic, so the water from the pool diffuses into the cells of your skin, pluming them up and giving them a more wrinkly appearance.
