The water remaining on your skin is evaporating into the air, and this removes energy from your skin, making you colder (the same way sweat does).

If you wear a towel or a loose garment, some of your body heat will be trapped in an air layer next to your body and you probably won't feel as cold. Wearing a wet cotton shirt will still allow body heat to be quickly lost until you are dry again. Wet polyester (double knit) fabrics will still lose heat, but not as readily.

What to do when it storming when you at an outdoors swimming pool and you are lifeguarding?

If it is just rain, you stay on your tower and guard the swimmers. If there is thunder & lightning, you clear the pool and wait 20 minutes from the last display of thunder & lightning before letting the swimmers back in the water. It is best if the swimmers are not standing on a wet pool deck while waiting for the all-clear to re-enter the pool.
