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!).

I have seen it in Watsons and possibly Mannings, SASA may even have it and I am sure you can find it at other pharmacies.
