Water removes heat from your body 7 times faster than air. So when you get outta the pool, you are wet, that water becomes the temperature of the air and while on your skin takes some heat from your body making you feel cold.

Water is an excellent conductor of heat. As the water drips off and evaporates, it draws body heat with it. This results in your feeling of cold. As you dry yourself off, your body is able to replace the lost heat and the amount of heat being drawn off your body is reduced as the water diminishes.

The temperature in the water in the swimming pool is warmer than the surrounding air thus, you will feel colder when you get out of the pool. However if the temperature was the same the effect of the condensation of water on your skin would also have a cooling effect.

When your body is use to the temperature in the water your body is content to that temp, but when you get out suddenly, your body temp was alter dramaticly to the outside temp, giving you the colder sensation than what you had when you were in the water.

Because he water on your skin starts to evaporate and that takes heat away from your body. On a dry day (one that is not humid) the effect is greatest, especially if the air is cooler than the water temperature.

Evapouration of the water on your skin requires heat, which it draws from your body, making you feel cold.
