Someone can correct me but I think it has to do something with a phenomenon called osmosis. Skins are porous. But the inner layer has a high concentration of fluids within the cells. When they are long kept in water, it flows inside the cells to balance out the density of fluid across a porous membrane. This results in swelling of the skin.
