Theres a few reasons for that. First, once you stop swimming, your body temperature will start to decrease because you aren't exerting anymore energy. Secondly, you're wet, so it is easier to feel cold, especially if there is wind. Thirdly, the pool water was probably cooler than your body temperature so it would cool you.

After a swim the swimmer is covered with water, and water evaporates, which has a cooling effect.

I am shaking after swimming is that normal I am not a professional swimmer and usually swim few times can this be the cause?

Sometimes after people swim, they get cold when they get out of the water so you could be cold. Or, sometimes if you hardly swim and then you go swimming, the muscles get relaxed and when you get out and start using them again, they might cause shaking.
