Hypoxia and Medicine

I get a severe case of itching about 30 mins into swimming in a pool. Is there a medical condition for this?

Recently I've been swimming in swimming pools and starting feeling extraordinarily itchy several minutes after i start swimming. It's very bothersome to the point that I have to come out of the pool and when I come out, I start seeing isolated bumps forming on my skin (not really rashes or clusters of little bumps, mainly one or two big bumps like a mosquito bite). Soon after I leave the pool however, the itching stops and the next day I feel perfect. I'm wondering if this is a medical condition (I don't think it's swimmer's itch by the way because they last longer) or is it just the pool?

1. You're probably allergic to one of the chemicals used in the pool.
2. you're most likely allergic to the chemicals they use to treat the pool, chlorine maybe?
3. The PH levels of the pool is off. It needs to be regulated and this can be done with, I believe, baking soda. Any pool supply specialty store can help.
4. My boyfriend is allergic to chlorine. you may have a sensitivity to it as well. Does it happen in the shower too?
