The salt in your pool's water is probably not the cause of the itching. If it were, people who went to the ocean (10x saltier) would all come out scratching like dogs at a flea festival.
Most likely, something ELSE is wrong with the pool.
Two common cause of skin itching can be chloramines (inconsistent chlorine, use of foamy algicides or "yellow algae" treatments) or EXTREMELY high chlorine levels. Indoor pools with high bather loads will often be 'itchy' due to the lack of sunlight to break down 'people goo'.
