This generally happens because our skin is generally sensitive towards the chlorine present in the water in the pool.

Spending a lot of time in the pool can cause such a problem to occur.

Therefore we have to try and spend less time in the pool and use other disinfectants(other than chlorine). On what authority does the above answer have for that answer. False. What makes your skin itch is the imbalance of the other chemicals such as pH, and Total Alkalinity. If these are out of balance or at the fringe of the range you will get skin irritation ( itch). It is the drying affect that a high pH or low pH and/or the high or low effects of Tatal Alkalinity. At 6.8 pH or lower and at 8.0 or higher you will experience skin irritation. With alkalinity those ranges are below 60 ppm and above 140 ppm. Adjust those ranges and the water will feel comfortable and inviting. For example if you were to visit 10 pools in one day of which all had low or high pH factors then skin on your hands would be extremely dry to the touch and sometimes feel rough. ----- You may have a skin allergy to chlorine if you itch no matter what pool you visit and/or develop a rash on more sensitive areas of skin like the backs of legs, tummy and/or arms after swimming.
