If it`s from the chlorine, that and the combo of shaving your legs makes for very dry legs. If it is because of dryness, I would suggest a heavy moisturizer after swimming.

A friend of mine used to slather herself in vaseline before she went swimming. It acts as a barrier to the chlorine. Another barrier cream may work as well (and not leave you looking all shiny!).
